Chapter 749: A Special Trap
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you will inevitably get your shoes wet.
Although Kane can't detect the 'usual', but he can't stand the ability to 'do', what is big, he will make up for anything, and it is good to pretend, pretending to be pretending to be unable to grasp the degree, in order to be cool for a while, any hole cards dare to turn out.
No, after two rounds of confrontation with the deep diver, he instinctively inherited the Buddha's consistent idea of 'being hunted down, because Mao should run instead of killing the pursuers on the spot', and killed more deep divers than the total number of deep divers killed by global investigators in 50 years (the average in history).
The Diver's Commander of Operations knew he wouldn't be able to explain it back, so he moved Cthulhu out to play.
Cthulhu was pleased with the goal of the Deep Divers 'introducing' him, and his divine intuition made Cthulhu instinctively sense that Kane was unusual.
It just so happened that Kane was in a state of slumber after overusing his mental power, although even in this state, a series of soul protection techniques still protected his soul and prevented external forces from invading.
But it was the roots of these spells that revealed his identity to a certain extent, at least for the well-informed Cthulhu to confirm that he was unusual.
So Cthulhu gave him preferential treatment, a seed of nightmares.
A battle begins. In the past, this kind of contest basically ended with the final victory of Cthulhu.
As a god, Cthulhu has a long lifespan and unimaginable patience, and as long as he is willing, waiting 10,000 years is not a problem.
This time he fell asleep, Kane himself knew how many hours he had been asleep. His arrangement before going to bed is that even if the deep divers kill again, as long as they can withstand it, then don't wake him up, and if they can't stand it, they will run away, and don't wake him up, unless the possibility of breaking through is slim, then wake him up and go directly to the moment of death.
Now that he has slept until he wakes up naturally, and he finds a person in the cabin, this means that the situation is not bad, and Kane is more satisfied.
However, he soon lost his joy because he found the Nightmare Seed.
But he can't talk about being annoyed, because from a certain point of view, he is seeking benevolence and achieving his goal in advance.
What was the fundamental purpose of Kane's participation in the Sinoe Island operation? Naturally, it was not to work for the organizers of the operation, let alone for humanitarian relief, but to reach out to the old rulers.
More specifically, to gain the knowledge of the old rulers.
The purpose of acquiring knowledge is certainly not to covet its technology.
It's not as good as your own path, and when it comes to Kane's level, he will not change his course and turn into someone else's path, but will only unswervingly follow his own path.
He obtains the knowledge of the old ruler for two purposes, the big goal, this is part of the intelligence collection, he will definitely not be able to fight the old ruler, but the deity has a chance, and to fight, knowing oneself and knowing the other is the minimum. This world is the world dominated by the old rulers, which can be called their lair universe, and the relevant information and knowledge they show are the 'most flavorful', not some exploratory doppelganger, incarnation or something.
The high gold content is the main motivation for him to collect information about the old rulers.
Secondly, collecting this information will help him parse and generate planetary runes. It can be said that the extraordinary technology of the old Dominator is the best technical parameters, the more you collect, the faster the planetary runes will be generated, so that his technical advantage can play a role.
Now, he has been planted with the Nightmare Seed by Cthulhu, which is of course the beginning of tearing and even the countdown to destruction, but the Nightmare Seed itself is a knowledge base, and he can obtain the information he needs in the process of competing with it.
As the saying goes, if you are greedy and chew more, this poisonous cake is enough for him to gnaw on for a while, which makes him suddenly enter the legendary state of having a mine at home, and he doesn't have to try his luck everywhere.
The reason why there is a theory of luck is because in his opinion, even the family members have a concept of understanding of the knowledge imparted by the old rulers, and the extraordinary technology mastered by the family must be accurate.
Kane felt that he was a man who could control his greed, and like now, he wasn't going to delve deeper.
Of course, he understands that many things are not what he wants, and the action has been going on to the current situation, and he said that if he doesn't play, he won't play, how can it be? If he doesn't look for trouble, things will come to him.
But even so, he believes that his own subjective will still plays a decisive role. If he refuses to contribute, or does not want to die, then even if he encounters something, he will be mediocre.
He dared to say this, naturally he was confident. Since the Sino Island operation, Group B has survived to this day with its current attitude entirely because of his will, otherwise I am afraid that it would have fallen into the pit as early as the first night.
Speaking of which, Kane had a little secret that he didn't tell Oliver, and that was that he knew the general situation of the others.
Although the trip to Sinoe Island was voluntary, it did not mean that he would easily entrust himself to the organizers of the operation.
As usual with vigilance, he kept a hand.
He had told Oliver that he had wandered around while on the big ship, so he knew how many people there were on the big ship, which was true, but he didn't finish it, and wandering was not the whole story. It also includes manipulation of certain personnel.
It was this little trick that allowed him to be sure that some people were still alive, but whether they were alive or well, or whether they had become the walking dead, he was not sure.
He didn't reveal this to Oliver, not because he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain, after all, he was already planning to let go of his hands and feet, and in Oliver's opinion, many of his methods were incredible, and it was not worse to add one or two more, and the main reason for not revealing it was because he was worried that someone would commit the disease of the Virgin.
For example, Moody's received a distress signal before the sinking of the ship the first day, and if he had followed his usual guidelines, he would not have rushed to the rescue overnight.
Knowing that it was a pit, he jumped into it regardless of it, not to mention the threat of this pit, and this kind of trick would make him feel stupid.
Later, I thought about it again, smart can also be mistaken by smart, the mysterious event style of the old branch series, has always been to die before death, and the way to deal with it is very safe, but it is also easy to miss the opportunity.
Then be dead, Moody and they all feel that they should go to the rescue overnight, why should he be that villain, let them hit the south wall and see the coffin, when the time comes, he can catch a handful, even if he can't catch it, the road is his own choice.
What happened later, Kane thinks, had a lot to do with his strength. To put it bluntly, it's very simple to fight the small, come to the old, and the sinister illusion can't be done, then go to the beast-like invisible son, and the beasts of the other world can't do it, and the intelligent monsters will jump out, and it's not easy to make it less, so let's drive the war beasts, this won't work, then let's play God's ......
He can roughly calculate the cost behind this series of blows launched by the enemy, especially the extraordinary cost.
The storm surge that obscures the light of the sky is not something that can be triggered casually, and the gods are not the dogs of deep divers, they can summon if they want to, and they kick away if they don't need to, it's not that simple, they can't say why, and if they disturb the gods, they have to pay a very high price, but sometimes this price is not at all in the same channel as people, so people may not care, such as selling their souls.
There are many people who are willing to use their souls as collateral for a certain purpose at every turn, and they are full of arrogance: "If I die, my soul will be yours." ”
It's just a lifetime of longevity, even if they don't do anything, and how many people are driven by ambition and greed, how many of them can live to the end of their lives? Not to mention that even if they can really die without illness, it will only be a hundred years, compared with the soul, where is this?
In any case, the general development of events did not jump out of his expectations, and the options of the deep divers were very limited, either to digest the impact of the failure and pay a high price, or to intensify the situation, and then go crazy, and invite the god father to come out and make decisions for himself, even if it is to risk his life.
Sure enough, the sky was pierced, and Cthulhu, who was believed in by deep divers, jumped out, the Nightmare Seed is not the best category, but it is not the worst, the worst is that Cthulhu discovered his core secret, and then directly pinched him to death, although it is unlikely, but the probability is there after all.
Then it's time to put away the set of death, you can do it, you don't need to investigate, and then check who will pop up, Sabu Hasta? or Satogua? This is all possible, darkness and Sabu Nicholas are always inseparable, he plays with the pseudo-yellow seal, it is possible to lead to Hasta, and the invisible son who has already appeared on the scene, believes in Satogua. So as long as you dig deeper, you can ship, which is nothing more than a matter of probability.
"From now on, I'm a real dangerous person, and if anyone wants to be embarrassed by me, I'll ask him to share Cthulhu's nightmare and see how much San he can ...... drop."
Kane thought maliciously, moved his limbs, and did a few broadcast gymnastic moves.
"Coffey, a brief report on the current situation. ”
"Yes, master. Coffey, who was waiting on the sidelines, answered, and the first item in the report made Kane frown: "The others were confused and left the ship, which happened 22 hours and 17 minutes ago. ”
Kane is not surprised that he slept all day, after all, in that battle, his mental power consumption was really large, and the current body is not perfect for the soul, after exceeding the limit, it is normal to fall asleep for a long time.
Although Oliver's loss is normal, it is mostly when Cthulhu attacked him, and the aftermath affected them, causing the San value to drop by more than 5 points, and they fell into temporary madness, and then fit a certain law on this island, so they were led to a certain place in a confused state.
Most of the other missing persons are in a similar situation. First 'lose heart', then be induced.
It's just that understanding is understanding, and unhappy emotions still inevitably breed.
After a few days of getting along, I still have some feelings, which cannot be completely treated as data. What's more, he was the only one left who was sober and alive, and when the new rescue team arrived, he was very difficult to explain.
Of course, he was afraid of this, afraid of trouble, especially since he was not ready to be the enemy of the world and wanted by the transcendent, ordinary people, and mythical creatures.
"At least you have to enjoy all the conveniences brought by human civilization in this world, right? He thought so to himself, hesitating whether to rescue or not. A moment ago, I was going to stay here for a while, but it only took a long time for the matter to come to the door.
"Keep debriefing. He commanded Coffey.
So Coffey listed the statistical results one by one, of the 47 soul catchers, 11 were completely destroyed, and 14 were more seriously injured, and the others also had varying degrees of injuries, and the intact ones were Coffey and him.
This situation is naturally quite sad, but the harvest is also exciting, the fire sea area bounded by the burning belt has its own soul gathering array, and the dead monsters are most concentrated near the big ship, and the result is that the soul hunters have made up a lot of soul power.
Although these soul powers are not as good as Kane's own spiritual powers, they can also be used as fuel for the Flame of the Salary King.
And with enough Salary King fuel, he can pry more transcendent elemental flames, and then control the geometric multiples of ordinary fires, a simple estimate, if there is another war, Kane will not have to work hard to make preliminary arrangements, as long as he does not count the loss, he can directly activate the sea of flames with a burning point high enough to turn seawater into fuel, and the area will not be much smaller than the previous one.
Kane nodded, this is indeed good news, the strange head is not cut in vain, there is a little bit of meaning to fight to feed the war.
In other aspects, it is basically all attrition. It's really cool to burn your opponent with flames, but there won't be too many usable materials left, either the burn will lose its effectiveness, or it will simply turn to ashes, otherwise whether it's a starfish monster, a deep diver, or a giant hermit crab, what you can provide will not be just a limited amount of barbecue meat for soul hunters to eat.
After listening to the report, Kane only said one sentence: "Let's move, there is nothing to be nostalgic for in this place." ”
Indeed, without Oliver, they are, in a way, indeed equal to less drag.
Leaving the cabin, I went to check on the wounded Soul Catcher.
In fact, Coffey has already done it for him, and due to various limitations, there are only two more practical cures in his hands now.
The first is to activate the magic on the soul catcher, using the power of the fire element to stimulate cells and increase activity, so as to accelerate metabolism and improve recovery.
The second is to use a relatively rudimentary healing magic array to heal wounds.
If you have to emphasize the details, there is a third type, that is, surgery, the more barbaric kind, just like Kane operated on himself in the Green Mansion before, rough and hard, if it was an ordinary person, such a method would have died on the operating table a long time ago.
Generally speaking, from the perspective of life science, the soul catcher is still very scientific and logical, and it is not unreasonable, and all kinds of magic methods only strengthen its organ skills, so that it can exert the limits of the human body under certain circumstances, and even exceed the limits of performance, but it is also at the end of the day, and there will be no more improvements, unless Kane uses them as one-time consumables such as 'stickman'.
There are now 11 soul catchers that can be used as 'stickmen', all of which were killed in previous wars. It is more appropriate to say that it is death than that the torso has been severely damaged and has no repair value.
But when Kane saw them again, it wasn't a stump, a blur of flesh and blood. As a qualified assistant, Coffey had already stitched them together one by one while Kane was asleep and wrapped them into mummies.
In addition, it activates another kind of magic array on their bodies to prepare them into dry firewood, which not only prevents embalming, but also has greater power when they become 'stickmen'.
Kane took the final step of these dried corpses, the basic level of immortal awakening.
Slightly more skilled, necromancy at this level can be used without any strings attached.
And the fault tolerance rate is also quite high, and there are no examples of wake-up failures due to law problems.
It's just that it's cheap and not good, these things are really like zombies in the Resident Evil world, stiff and slow, and people can't help but feel sleepy and want to doze off.
Fortunately, Kane woke them up so that they could move their own 100 pounds of weight around without the logistics of the specialists, so they could tolerate some garbage.
Other soul catchers, recuperating from injuries, on duty, and at work, Kofi's wisdom is actually like that, but it's okay to command the soul catchers to do some cleaning and other work, and the mess after the war, cleaning work, the proportion is huge, and you don't have to worry about running out of work in a short time.
After walking around, the wounded have finished visiting, and the soul power collected by the soul catchers has also been harvested. This has to be done by Kane himself with the help of the salary king, and Coffey can't replace it.
In the current situation, the move is obviously unreliable, there are too few qualified laborers, and it is uneconomical to forcibly operate, so wait two days for the soul catchers to recover.
So what does he do?
Repair equipment.
Well, this time the wear and tear is indeed a bit large, the soul catchers have been scrapped 11, the degree of equipment damage can be imagined, basically everything that needs to be recuperated is a big explosion of equipment and magic pendants.
So if you really want to repair the equipment, you can easily pass the time in a week.
Kane didn't want to do that, he was going to rescue Oliver.
The first reason is that they are worried that after a long time, Oliver and they will become really crazy and will never be able to save them. If that were the case, he would probably find it difficult for him to clarify himself with the rescue team that arrived later.
The second reason is that the stickman is time-sensitive, and it is not used when it expires, and the maintenance fee is on the rise, and the power is falling in a hurry.
Therefore, if in-depth investigation and tearing are inevitable, then sooner rather than later.
After checking himself and bringing everything he should have brought with him, Kane ordered Coffey to look after the house, and he himself drove the boat and car, carrying 11 stickmen, towards his destination.
Oliver's position was much clearer than the position of the men he had manipulated on the big ship. Because Oliver and the others are carrying the magic pendants he gave them, according to Kane's habits, the collateral positioning effect is basically inevitable.
This is actually not very lofty, just add a little bit of the fire of the Salary King. The Fire of the Salary King, which is fueled by his soul power, can be said to be unique, and at the same time, because it is a soul fuel, it naturally has a special induction with his soul. Therefore, he only needs to have this awareness when making magic weapons, and make a secret sign, and the positioning effect will be there.
Although the area of Sino Island is not small, there is a flame bird based on the magic eagle, and it is not difficult to find the target after knowing the general direction.
With the help of the flame bird, Kane even knew the route to go, and then he drove a car, and the terrain adaptability of the boat and car was comparable to that of the bridge-building vehicles of the engineering troops, and there were really not many places that could not be walked, even if there were some, the detour would pass, and Kane still had this patience.
He is not in a hurry, it is not yet noon, and the weather is not bad today, it may be that yesterday's storm was too noisy, and the power was released, and today the sky is high and the clouds are light, and even the shadow of the sun can be seen.
Of course, it is basically impossible to see a real sunny day, this place is too special, the storm area around the sea outside the island, that is actually the boundary, from there, a huge law force field shrouds the entire area, at the edge of this force field cover, like the solar wind at the top of the heliosphere and the interstellar medium collide like the law confrontation phenomenon occurs all the time, and within it, including Sino Island, is the area conquered by the mixed law.
The so-called hybrid law refers to the self-consistent system produced by the interaction of the two worlds, which is constantly changing and relatively unstable. In this system, it is not surprising that anything unthinkable in the eyes of ordinary people happens.
So when Kane arrived at the ground, after passing through a small dense forest, he saw a rippling lake hanging upside down in the sky, he didn't show a surprised expression, and it was impossible to reduce the San value, although his spiritual vision was extremely high, but the strength of his will was higher, and his vision was super high, and there were only a handful of things that could shock or frighten him.
"Nasty place. Kane thought as he pulled down the mask and activated the protective energy field. Suddenly, the fur of his Eskimo suit, the long hair stood up, and there were fine pieces of electric light wandering, and from a distance, it looked like a bright blue mist on the shiny fur, making the fur appear a dreamlike gorgeous.
Kane is in the Order camp and hates Chaos. And here, it's the chaos zone. Compared with the outside, the degree of mutual influence between the two worlds here has been improved at different levels, but it has formed a delicate balance, and there are too many details that subvert the three views of ordinary people. For example, a fish leaps out of the lake overhead, swims in the air a few times, and then crosses an invisible line before falling into free fall and landing on a trail not far from Kane.
Each other's inverted world, this is indeed very bizarre, very Cthulhu, and very dangerous, Kane uses the energy shield as the boundary, and has his own pattern, just for fear that he may not be able to point out where the law is abnormal, so as to trap him.
No matter what abnormalities occur, they will be reflected in the energy shield first, and the supernatural power exists in either of the two worlds, and the possibility of being erased at once due to the law anomaly is very small, so it is the best buffer, even if there is a law trap, he can get time to think and react.
Kane's target was a small village, presumably of the gatekeepers, and the architectural style was not very easy to say, not any of the ones Kane was familiar with, it was rough and primitive, but it was a generation more advanced than the tribal thatched huts, and it had used stones, and tiles, and wooden beds were similar, but there were no window panes, and wooden planks and animal skin curtains were used to keep the wind and cold.
Kane had always paid attention to details, and he paid attention to the animal skin, the deer skin, not a reindeer, nor an ordinary deer, it should be a demonic deer.
Kane subconsciously looked at the upside-down lake in the sky, the area was very large, but the shadow was enough to see the mountains on the edge, and at first glance it looked very similar to the scenery of this world.
"The Gatekeepers are going hunting in another world, maybe. ”
Kane calmly shook his hand, and a chain of fire connected all the stickmen behind him, and these stickmen staggered forward in a mummified manner, which was very disturbing. But it doesn't matter, it's okay not to Lo after activation.
Considering the peculiarities of this place and the Stickman's IQ, Kane decided to tie it up with a makeshift dog leash, lest he fall behind in the Stickman's perception that he was still there one moment and where he went the next.
As it turned out, Kane's operation was not a thing, and when he crossed the small square in the center of town, it was very abrupt, and he was in another world.
For the average person, I am afraid that there will be no difference at all, the houses and streets, the near and distant scenes, the weather temperature, and even the damp wind with the smell of the sea, are all the same as what they saw and heard a second ago.
However, Kane is very unusual, he can perceive the change of the law through the planetary text, and if the law changes, the planetary text will be inaccurate, and the energy fluctuations emitted will reflect this inaccuracy, Kane knows that it is another world, even if it looks similar, but the core is different.
Kane immediately raised his hand to look at the fire chain in his hand, to be honest, this pull is very lucky, because generally speaking, once you cross the border, you have to calculate it according to the real distance, I am afraid that it is an unimaginable distance.
The various types of knowledge involved in cross-border are very complex, and in simple terms, they can be understood as the delivery and transfer of information packets, and they are either completely past or not in the past, and there is no such thing as a part of the past, a part of the past, and a part of the road.
This is different from the portal that passes through the liquid energy curtain, where the head passes first, and is already looking at the other world, while the rest of the body is still in a state of leapfrogging.
The cross-border is not over-reflected, and in a moment, in front of and behind him, up and down, left and right, all change, just like what he just experienced, in this case, it is impossible for an existence like a fire chain to remain connected.
Sure enough, the fire chain was broken, and there were no stickmen behind him.
He continued to try, walked back, and after three steps, the stickman saw that he was back in another world.
He couldn't help but be amazed, the weirdness, or the degree of magic here, he had only seen in his life. He felt that this structure of time and space, which remained in a stable state and allowed for free cross-border crossing, was worth spending a lot of time and energy studying the mysteries.
It's a pity that such a structure has a special nature that is almost impossible to replicate, and he can't reproduce it in other places, nor can he pack it away, and it is inconvenient to carry out research on the spot, so he can only regret it temporarily.
One of the questions that puzzled Kane was that since there was another world a few steps away, how did Oliver's Salary King Fire signal be accepted by him across borders?
"Could it be that this is a trap designed specifically for me?"
After some thought, Kane decided to explore the crossover to a deeper level.
As a result, something even more mysterious happened, after completing the crossover, he took a few steps forward, and he actually crossed the border again!
"What the hell is this?" he was rarely calm.
A few steps forward, cross the border again, continue to move forward, or cross the border......
In less than 500 steps, he had crossed 137 worlds.
At this point, he finally figured out some of the situation, these 137 worlds are very likely to be parallel worlds of the first world, and he even discovered a certain pattern by feeling the energy fluctuations reflected in the inaccuracy of the planetary characters. It was precisely this law that made him realize that not only do these worlds look similar, but even the law system has sequential similarities and differences. Just like A1, B2, C3, D4, etc., of course, the similarities and differences are not just two, but unimaginably huge numbers when examined in detail.
While summing up the intelligence information, Kane also confirmed that this was indeed a trap, a trap that was expensive to set up and left him speechless.
He heard a cry, like the howling of the wind, like the sound of a beam of plasma rubbing against the air, like some kind of wooden whistle he had ever heard.
The voice came to his mind in the form of a nerve signal, and then he instinctively knew what it was - the Tindarus Hound.
The cross-border passage connecting 1+137 parallel worlds, this is the trap itself, when crossing this passage, it is equivalent to time travel at the arcane level again and again, and finally, the Tyndallus Hounds who don't inhabit the distant past have found it.
"It's great that I made the low-level mistake of wishful thinking to associate the two realms of cross-border with the semi-intertwined nature of Sinoe Island. However, in fact, A is A, B is B, and this is a kaleidoscopic corridor-like space-time trap!"
Kane finally figured out why he could detect Oliver's location, because Oliver was in this world, and it wasn't far away from him, what was really far away was this imperceptible cascading space-time passage in front of him.
It is too profound, involving 137 parallel worlds, spanning unimaginable time and space, and involving even more information that cannot be described, so it is an unfathomable blind spot of perception.
It was there, but his perception was oblivious to it, so much so that he crossed the border to confirm its existence, and walked through 137 parallel worlds to roughly outline the form of the corridor inside it.
"Awesome!" Such a 'space-time mille-feuille' is placed in front of him, there are really mountains outside the mountain, and there are people outside the people, Kane has to say 'convinced', anyway, with his space-time side technology, he can't dig this kind of pit.
As for the Tyndallus Hound, he really doesn't have a space-time container to seal this kind of monster now, but it doesn't matter, except that the undead characteristic is a bit annoying, he will use hard power to beat the other party who suspects that the dog is born.
Of course, even so, Kane still had a feeling of chagrin.
Obviously, he is sinking deeper and deeper, and the debts he is carrying are getting heavier and heavier, the seeds of nightmares, the hunting of the Tyndallus hounds, this kind of rotten debt that is almost immortal, it is really desperate to think about.
But he was mainly angry at his inferior performance, reminding himself all day long, but it really happened, but he couldn't hold it. That's it
Thanks to his early decision to have a life in this life, no longer pursuing endless longevity, but pursuing the wonderful life, so he can still maintain a minimum of calmness and calmness now.
Even death can be accepted peacefully, and there are really not many things that can still make him afraid.
