Chapter 281: A Desperate Experiment; The witch's abode
"Just wanted to ask for directions."
As soon as these words came out, the person who spoke couldn't help but want to slap himself.
This reason is too unreliable to say, I am the head snake here, how can I not be familiar with the road conditions.
Do you still need to ask for directions?
Why not find a better reason.
"Asking for directions?"
The voice behind him gently repeated the words.
"Are you looking for me for directions?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The man replied in a hurry, feeling the chill behind him, and he only thought that the mysterious man should leave quickly.
I will no longer provoke such people if I kill them in the future.
"But I'm not familiar with the road conditions here, so you should be asking the wrong person."
"But ......"
"I want to ask for directions, okay?"
Although the voice behind him was a question sentence, the indifferent tone never looked like he was asking someone.
Feeling the murderous intent in the desert voice, the man's head was almost empty, and then he said it without thinking about it at all.
"Yes, yes!"
"You can ask whatever you want, I'm familiar with this area......"
It's just that after the words came out, his voice became smaller and quieter, until finally it was inaudible.
At the moment, he just wanted to slap himself a few times, whether he wanted to see what he was talking about.
How did he say such a thing?
Isn't that proof that you're lying?
The more the man thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and his expression grew panicked.
He could almost smell the killing intent that was condensed into substance.
But it was all just a delusion on his part.
In fact, in addition to the smell of blood, there is only the rotten smell of the slums.
The chill he felt was only a few drops of rain in his back.
Fortunately, the mysterious person behind it didn't track it down, she just asked where the location of a street was.
"I know, I know."
"The location of that street is in front, go left to the end and ...... to the right"
"No, no, it's just a few steps to the left before ...... to the right."
“……”
The man stammered and replied, and even repeated it several times.
At the same time, he prayed in his heart to the Lord of Light that death would not come to him.
But the Lord of Light seemed to hear his prayers.
After looking at the map, the mystery man thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you very much for your guidance."
After saying that, several people felt that there was no movement behind them, as if the mysterious man had left.
So some people took advantage of the stagnant water on the ground and kept peeking behind them.
The water on the ground presents an empty picture.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned around.
Sure enough, there was nothing, and the mysterious man was clearly gone.
Thank you, Lord of Light, for your ......
Protect......
Before the prayer of his heart was finished, his vision swirled.
The last scene in the line of sight was a brilliant strand of golden hair jumping out of the black robe, fluttering in the wind, as if it were the light of the sun.
The blood of death was spilled on several others.
Feeling the warm liquid on their bodies, their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The thought that it was the blood of their companions in the last second suddenly terrified even more.
Some people did not dare to turn back, but ran towards the front of the alley.
But soon, as if the body had touched a transparent silk thread, all parts of the body slid to the ground in unison, and the wound was very neat.
Soon, fear welled up in the hearts of the remaining two.
Several of his companions are dead!
They don't even know what killed them!
Just by moving, people are easily cut in half like puddings.
They keep begging for mercy from the mysterious man behind them.
But there was no sound, only droplets of water dripping around them.
The two of them also wanted to move their bodies.
But soon they felt their skin touch a cold silk thread.
And it's not just the front, it's all over the place.
This seems to be a warning that if they move a little, they will end up like the previous ones.
The two of them had to stay where they were, and now their stomachs were shriveled, and the cold rain soaked their already damp clothes, making them cold and heavy.
It was getting darker and darker, and soon it was completely dark.
The winter night is as cold as a sharp blade.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been holding on at the moment, how much they wanted to eat a bowl of hot rice and then fall asleep in the warm bed.
But the silk threads that looked like the blades of death were like spider silk that bound them here.
Even though they were tired and hungry, they didn't dare to move.
The temperature was getting colder and colder, and their bodies seemed to freeze, completely losing consciousness.
Their hearts grew more and more desperate.
But one night was a long time......
……
"Hmmm......"
"Is this the mood of despair and fear?"
In the darkness of the night, a hand comparable to snow, a few wisps of black mist slowly swirled.
The azure eyes looked at it quietly, a little curious about it.
After all, it is the first time to collect such emotions.
"Hmm......"
Feeling the wisps of despair that arose from afar, Alyssa narrowed her eyes slightly.
She was the mysterious man.
And the punishment of those people is only an attempt of oneself.
Follow the method given by the god and try how to gather people's emotions.
If it had been put in the past, if she had been asked to kill, she might not even be able to hold a knife steadily.
But now, even the corpse is in front of you.
She also had an expressionless look.
I've changed after all......
I wonder if he can accept it?
Alyssa shook her head slightly, and then put away the still-growing emotion for storage.
It is foreseeable that this sentiment may continue to be felt for a long time.
Alyssa followed the man's instructions and came down a street.
She looked at the quiet streets.
The streets were empty, not even lighted, and pitch black.
But in her eyes, she could see very clearly.
If there is no mistake, the temporary residence of the Extreme Demon Girl...... This should be the place.
Although Alyssa is a little distressed by the witch's temporary residence in the slums.
But it's not hard to understand.
After all, if you want to collect emotions, then according to the characteristics of the slum, it is indeed the best place.
Countless people are floating here, with an unknown amount of despair in their hearts.
But Alyssa felt it carefully.
But I found that there are no other characteristics here except for quantity.
As for the quality, it is definitely not as good as the emotions produced by those warlocks.
Alyssa gathers the mystery factor in her eyes and carefully searches for the witch's abode.
Soon, according to the remnants of the witch's mind, she quickly found the entrance, just behind a door.
A mysterious key was woven in her hand, and Alyssa inserted it.
Immediately a mysterious hole appeared, like the mouth of a giant beast.
Alyssa stepped in without hesitation.
Soon the light around her changed, and she entered a mysterious space.
The protective circles arranged here spotted the intruders and showed their heads one after another.
All kinds of bright lights appeared in the air, aiming directly at Alyssa's thin figure.
She sighed slightly, and then a breath appeared on her body.
That's the breath of a witch.
In the next second, these protective circles directly dissipated into particles on the spot and hibernate again.
However, Alyssa did not revoke the aura placed on her body.
She walked into the depths of the space, and as far as the eye could see, there were countless moving devices.
Numerous large canisters-like devices are housed in it, connected by dense pipes that cover almost the entire field of vision.
Some canisters are made of transparent material, and a black mist can be seen trapped inside.
"It's ......"
Alyssa looked familiar, because she had just seen this mist.
It is the emotion of despair.
Has the despair of a whole ghetto been gathered here?
Alyssa walked through the installations step by step, and there was not only despair in them.
There are a few other emotions that come up here.
Such as anger, frustration, sadness, pain......
However, the most negative emotions that appear here are very few, almost none.
It's like a labyrinth, and Alyssa doesn't know how long it's been for her.
She finally came to the end of these devices.
Looking at the various instruments in front of me, and the pile of books neatly arranged.
Alyssa's eyes lit up slightly, and she stepped forward to take down one of the books and open it.
Sure enough, there are many books about mysteries.
This mystical knowledge was not accessible to her at all.
But now they are placed here in the open, like bright pearls, as long as you stretch out your hand, you can touch them directly.
There wasn't even any defense.
But think about it, after all, you have to look through it from time to time, so it will be too troublesome to set up defenses.
With these books in place, her future path will be much clearer.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to embark on the path of the Morning Star by groping on your own.
And these instruments, although Alyssa can't recognize what they do.
However, depending on the sophistication of them, it is estimated that they are very expensive, and it is impossible to buy them in the market.
Alyssa liquidated the stuff.
I'll leave them here for now.
After all, there are more important things to come here by yourself.
Alyssa began to explore the place further.
A secret room was soon discovered.
With the witch's remaining memories, this secret room can't bother her.
After the door was opened, Alyssa couldn't help but smile when she saw what was inside.
It's just that there is a chill in that smile.
That's what she's here for.
There was nothing else in the chamber, except for a working instrument in the middle.
In the middle of the instrument is a pitch-black mass.
Countless mystical factors are slowly maintaining its activity through this instrument.
Alyssa approached slightly, and the aura on her body quickly caught its attention.
The liquid swayed slightly, as if to stop her from approaching.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Alyssa chuckled softly, but there was indifference in her gaze.
The liquid suddenly shook even more, and I couldn't stop being afraid.
It already smells out, and this is the murderer who killed the body.
And now, this murderer has been found!
"Should I call you the Witch's Soul, or the Consciousness?"
Alyssa whispered almost like a murmur, as if she were a monster from the abyss.
There are a lot of memories left by the witch missing, and some of the memories about her own promotion, or extremely important ones, don't know where they are sealed.
So Alyssa speculated that she probably divided her memories into many parts.
According to the witch's remaining memories, she came here.
And now, what appears in front of Alyssa is a memory that belongs to the witch.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a soul.
After all, as long as the main body dies, then after receiving the signal here, it will begin to cultivate this soul with all its might.
When the soul grows, the witch can rely on this soul to resurrect.
This is the hole card that she has been hiding.
She even sealed her memories in order to hide this hole card that could turn her over.
But now, the witch's soul has not fully grown, and Alyssa has come directly to her.
"You don't have any memories of me......
Alyssa whispered to the witch's soul as her eyes kept looking at the device.
It can be said that the witch has been able to live from the past to the present era, and this method has contributed to it.
"Resurrection ......"
"It's a pity that you need a soul."
Alyssa will not tear her soul and take a single fragment.
For her, maintaining her own integrity is paramount.
This is not only Alyssa's own true thoughts, but her hunch has also been reminding her.
It seems like it's important in general.
"Since you recognize me, you're welcome."
Alyssa saluted gracefully to the witch's trembling soul, then touched the surface of the vessel where the soul was kept.
Gently.
"Kacha!"
A crack quickly appeared on the surface of the container.
The crack widened, and the witch's soul began to panic more and more, wanting to escape.
But this design, which was designed to protect the soul, has become her cage at the moment.
Under the desperate gaze of the witch's soul, the container shattered inch by inch.
And her own weak soul was also exposed to Alyssa's gaze.
Alyssa's fingers touched lightly, and soon the witch's soul began to wail.
A terrible pain befell the whole soul, as if it had been crushed into powder.
Finally, the witch's soul is devoured by Alyssa.
Closing her eyes slightly, some more fragmented memories appeared in her mind.
But the memory is still incomplete.
The Extreme Demon Girl should not only have such a resurrection point.
But Alyssa didn't search for any of them.
Apparently she cut the dust herself.
As for what to do next......
Alyssa looked at this space, it would be all for her!
Still, there was a thoughtful glint in her eyes.
He must be very short of these things, or else he will exchange some things......
