Chapter 330: Russell and the Witch
The young man who behaved like a god and a liar was naturally Abner, and after listening to Russell's words at this moment, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "How can I prove it?" ”
Russell looked left and right, and after seeing a girl with a bright and splendid face and a dignified temperament in front of the bookshelf, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at her and said, "If you really have those skills, tell me the identity and origin of that girl." ”
Well, the question is quite "Russell"...... After Abner sneered, he directly opened the "Pure White Eye" and read the information of the so-called girl.
He has been in the dream scene of the sixth layer for a while, and he has long found that except for Russell, who has a real "spirit", everyone else in the city is just a piece of "information", similar to some intelligent NPCs in holographic online games, although they have good logic and adaptability, but in the final analysis, they are not really "people".
Their existence is the same as that of most of the plot characters on the 9th, 8th, and 7th floors, while Russell's existence is more similar to the "Chery" he and Hugh met on the 7th floor.
To get back to the point, since the essence of these people is "information", and there is no special "information protection" mechanism, then the "pure white eye" is easier to read, and there is no need to even "analyze" and "backtrack", and the intelligence is directly displayed in front of Abner's eyes.
Panatia ...... Sequence 7 'The Witch'...... Age 19...... Height...... Weight......
"A member of the Witch Family...... Mother:...... Mother: ......"
Looking at this information, the corners of Abner's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he said in his heart: It is worthy of Russell, and he pointed at a witch with a finger...... And Panatia ...... It can't be the "desperate nightingale" in the Great Smog incident, right?
She's actually from Russell's time?! Well, it's not surprising, after all, it's normal for a demigod to live for more than a hundred years...... Moreover, the demigods of the witch path may have a longer lifespan than other sequences......
"Why, you shouldn't say that you are in a bad state today, and you didn't 'divination' come out, right?" Seeing that Abner was distracted, Russell sneered at him and stabbed him with words.
Abner came back to his senses and sealed off the surrounding space with his spirit, and only then did he relay the information he had "seen" to Russell.
Russell was startled when he saw the other party blocking the surroundings at first, and almost used the magical items on his body directly, but he was relieved when he found that Abner had no evil intentions, and at the same time judged that the other party was at least an extraordinary person in Sequence 7, because only an extraordinary person who reached this level could directly use a powerful spiritual blockade space without borrowing artifacts and rituals.
"Witch? Sequence 7? Really? After Abner finished speaking, Russell looked suspiciously at the girl who was flipping through the books in front of the bookshelf, and felt a little disbelieving.
"Feel free to verify it." Abner smiled, stretching out his arm and making a "please" gesture.
Russell stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, don't bother to verify, I believe you!" From this day on, we are companions. ”
What? That's it? Was Russell so sloppy when he was younger? Or is he too confident because he thinks he's the main character?
Abner thought about it for a moment and felt that he would either have another means of verification, or he would pretend to be a companion and investigate it afterwards......
After all, I have revealed my strength through spiritual blockade, and Russell is afraid that I will be "annoyed and angry", so it is natural for him to stabilize me first.
However, Abner didn't really want to join a "dream phantom", he just wanted to temporarily blend in with the expedition team and open the next "map".
Russell, on the other hand, seemed pleased to pat Abner on the shoulder and smiled and asked, "By the way, brother." After talking for so long, I still don't know what your name is? ”
"I'm Strange...... You can call me 'Doctor Strange'. Abner hesitated, then replied, half-tentatively.
"'Doctor Strange'? Hey, the book I'm thinking about has this name in it, but I didn't expect someone to call it in reality. Russell looked surprised when he heard this, and his face was full of surprise.
There is only the "surprise" emotion that happens to hit the name...... He really didn't have any memory of being "Huang Tao...... His current memories are only woven with "information......
While thinking so, Abner also enthusiastically talked to Russell on this topic, and under Abner's deliberate pandering, the two talked very speculatively.
Finally, Russell picked up an ancient book in his hand, squeezed his eyes, and said to Abner rather mysteriously, "I have found the location of an ancient ruin, are you interested in exploring it with me?" ”
That's what I've been waiting for! Abner nodded and said, "Of course, I am very interested in all kinds of knowledge...... Naturally, you won't miss the ancient ruins. ”
"Good!" Russell shook his fist, as if he was excited by Abner's arrival, and said, "You go and get ready, and come to me tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning at the Graham Hotel on Delahair Street, Northwest End...... I'll introduce you to some friends. ”
Abner readily agreed.
Then, after a few more casual conversations, Russell said goodbye to him and left the library with unhurried steps.
And just as he was going out, Panatia, who was concentrating on flipping through the books, suddenly turned her head and glanced at his back meaningfully.
"This 'meaningful' is a bit fake, like a designed cutscene...... I'm still sitting here, after all, and your obvious actions are simply an insult to a detective's insight! ”
Abner, who saw this scene in his eyes, couldn't help but complain, but still failed to attract Panatia's attention. He had long since discovered that the vast majority of people in this scene would more or less ignore his presence.
If he doesn't take the initiative to "interact" with the other party, or triggers the other party's "stress response" mechanism, most people will only choose to ignore it when they see him.
"However, Russell was noticed by the people of the Witch Sect at this time? And he doesn't seem to know it......
"Wait, Russell's exclamation that 'witches taste so good' isn't it directed at Panatiea, right?"
Abner looked at the "witch" who still regarded herself as air, and his mind couldn't help but fly, and he felt as if he had discovered an amazing secret.
……
In the ruins of a house on Black Palm Street in the Eastern End, Hugh slashed his finger with a knife and quickly wrote the name of "Fool" and the corresponding symbols and magic signs on the ground with his own blood.
Then, she closed her eyes, lowered her head, and chanted the honorific name of the object of the ceremony:
"A fool who does not belong to this era, a mysterious lord above the gray mist, and a king of yellow and black who rules good fortune."
In the majestic palace like the abode of giants, Crane, who had a "secret agreement" experience, skillfully leveraged the power above the gray mist, allowing him to use the "Azk Bronze Whistle" as a "bridge" to bless his own spirituality, turning into a black figure as tall as himself!
Immediately afterward, he threw the figure into the crimson star of Miss Judgment.
……
Hugh only felt that he was awake and in a trance at the same time.
It was as if she saw a figure that was difficult to describe, a different color brilliance that contained infinite knowledge, and a figure that looked down on everything, as black as ink.
But at this moment, she was suddenly horrified to find that the corpse of the dead "giant" had actually sat up, as if it wanted to pounce in her direction.
Fortunately, the mental trance disappeared all at once, and she regained the ability to think in an instant, and quickly responded - taking out a "sleep charm" from her pocket.
But the corpse, which had sat up on its own, now seemed to have lost all its vitality, and fell down again.
Hugh did not dare to slack off, and after activating the "charm" to ensure that nothing was lost, he prayed to Mr. "Fool" again.
After a few moments, she got the phrase "Well done!" Response.
At this time, Hugh realized that the "secret ceremony" had been successful, and although he didn't know what Mr. "Fool" had achieved by it, it was none of her business, because she didn't think much about it, but methodically cleaned up the traces of the ritual.
Shortly after she had finished cleaning up and was about to leave, a group of "Night Watchmen" rushed over upon hearing the news, led by a beautiful lady wearing a hood and wearing blue eyeshadow and blush.
Hugh recognized her as none other than Lady Dalie Simone, a "necromantic mentor" with whom Abner had a good relationship.
