The Thunder Charm exploded in front of the big screen, and the entire screen was impacted, cracks and snowflakes appeared at the same time.

The next moment, Shen Chan felt that the surrounding environment was "blurred and distorted", and the original cold feeling temporarily subsided for a moment.

Immediately after that, there seemed to be a slight "distortion" in the air in the field of vision.

The degree is almost undetectable, like the writhing of the air over the asphalt road on a hot day — but Shen is well aware that even if the cold subsides, the current temperature is still far from producing a "heat wave".

And in this brief distortion, Shen Chan noticed a figure.

It was a rather vague outline, not far to the right of where Shen Chan was standing at the moment.

Although it was almost a flash, Shen Chan still noticed and recognized the petite figure.

Ninety percent of the time it's Lin Er.

Sure enough, he was "cut off" from himself......

Everything around quickly calmed down, but Shen Chan didn't rush to approach the suspicious figure of Lin Er or shout at her.

"The console in the second row at the front of the hall is from the left, between the three and four seats."

After noting the approximate location of Lin Er's figure, Shen Chan took a deep breath and continued to fill the anti-gravity launcher in his hand.

But this time he stuffed it not with the thunder spell, the thunder charm had already been finished.

This time, it was replaced with more pure "Exorcism Talisman", "Soul Explosion Talisman" and other charms - this thing Shen Chan hadn't used much since he realized or mistakenly thought that there were no real ghosts in this copy.

Of course, he wasn't completely misjudged at the time...... Because it seems that this dungeon will not encounter any ghosts if it is not actually killed in the hidden scene.

So this kind of spell that is purely against spirits and ghosts has a lot left.

Then, Shen Chan aimed at the position where the image that was suspected of Lin Er was standing just now, and launched all these spells!

"Bang!"

The scattered spells exploded one by one in the air, and the explosion mainly aimed at the spirit only made Shen Cicada feel a strong wind blowing, and then ......

The air shattered.

"Click-"

There was a crack sound, like some invisible barrier cracking.

From the other side of the crack, Lin Er's voice came faintly.

"What's that?!"

Although her voice was vague, Shen Chan was not difficult to hear...... At this moment, Lin Er seemed to be full of surprise.

Shen Chan exhaled.

"You were right."

He said this to himself in his heart, and then shouted.

"Lin Er, in this direction of my voice...... Chop! Slash in a way that can slash spirits! ”

Shen Chan shouted like this, but Lin Er didn't answer again.

He himself began to pull out more attack charms against spirits, and continued to stuff them into the anti-gravity canister.

Subsequently......

Launch again!

Another round of explosions exploded at the original crack, and after the twisted crack, Lin Er's voice became clearer.

- It's not the sound of speech.

"Hum—"

The sound of metal trembling leaked out of the crack, piercing the subtle sound of successive spiritual explosions and the cacophony of air flowing, sounding cold and crisp.

Shen Chan's eyes narrowed.

This sound was unlike anything he had ever heard, but he knew that it was the voice that belonged to Lin Er.

A knife that belongs to Lin Er.

If there is a sound of "killing intent", then it should be the same as this golden iron clear sound at this moment!

After a long trembling tail, a new sound followed......

Shen Chan listened attentively and heard the sound of "cracking".

"Uhhh

A blade appeared out of thin air, and then ......

Cut through an invisible barrier in the air.

Even, some of the parts of the tip of the knife came into contact with the "explosion" created by Shen Cicada, and they all cut through the "explosion" together.

Subsequently......

The scratch grew bigger and bigger, and finally became a huge gap large enough to pass through a person.

Lin Er got out of it.

Shen Chan was not only stunned when he saw Lin Er in this state now.

The current Lin Er...... The whole body was bubbling with blood.

But unlike the blood light from the knife before, the source of the blood light on Lin Er's body now is in her body.

Her skin, which was originally so white that it looked like it had been opened with whitening effects by live streaming software or short video software, now appeared under the red glowing lines, curling like the flames of an abstract painting.

The neck, cheeks, arms, the lines stretched all the way to the long knife and shield, and the whole person seemed to be burning.

"Whew-"

She let out a long breath, white mist shooting out of her mouth and nose like arrows.

If the previous Lin Er was like a demon crawling out of the blood pool in the Hell Shura Dao, then the current Lin Er is more like a calamity star demon god who will be in the world.

At this time, the "killing intent" on her body was like substance, and any tangible and intangible things should be afraid and panic towards her.

Even Shen Chan couldn't help but feel his heartbeat involuntarily accelerate.

And in the next second, Lin Er, who saw Shen Cicada, frowned slightly, and looked at the "invisible gap" behind him.

Then, she scratched her head and opened her mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat confused expression.

"I'll be looking for you for a long time...... What's going on?! ”

"Is it some kind of super big machine? A translucent film? Or what? ”

Lin Er shook off his knife and touched the left and right sides of the "breach" with his free left hand, and even touched the location of the breach.

But...... But I didn't touch anything.

Instead, he poked it with the blood light condensed with the knife, as if he had poked some invisible obstacle, and he couldn't get an inch without cutting it hard.

"The membrane of the spirit?"

Lin Er was even more puzzled.

Shen Chan looked at her current appearance, and also touched her chin, also revealing her current look.

"I've pretty much figured out everything about this hidden scene, and I'll answer you if there's anything you want to ask in a moment......"

"But, I'm more curious now, what state are you?"

"Is it another set of skills for your sword and shield?"

Shen Chan asked out loud, Lin Er thought for a while, and didn't hesitate too much to speak directly.

"Oh-this, this has nothing to do with swords and shields."

"Although it looks very similar to the art style, this is another prop's skills and abilities."

Lin Er explained simply, pointing to his space stone.

"Because you said you were going to attack the spirits, I dug into the house...... If I don't get attacked for the time being, I can turn it off first, no, every second it takes is burning the balance. ”

As she said this, Shen Chan nodded.

"Yes, if the switch doesn't cool down once, it can be turned off, because I think the 'other party' still doesn't have the strength to organize another attack for the time being."

Shen Chan said this, and Lin Er also stretched out his hand to his chest.

Under the placket of her clothes, near her chest, a blood-colored spar emerged from her skin and fell into Lin Er's hand.

Then, the blood-colored lines on Lin Er's skin were all folded away and reunited into this small stone.

The shape of the crystal cluster that shimmered with blood-colored light was only the size of a palm, and the halo was sometimes large and sometimes small, as if it was breathing.

The sharp edges never seem to have been polished, and the outline is somewhat irregular. However, if you look closely, you can see that there are many shallow words engraved on the surface of the crystal.

"What is this?"

Shen Chan couldn't help but ask.

"It's very rude to inquire about other people's hole cards, Cicada," Lin Er said, but obviously he didn't pay too much attention to Shen Cicada, he just put this spar back into the space stone, and then continued to speak, "Well, it's okay to tell you what Cicada said...... This is 'Scarlet Moon Limb Blood', the ...... I found in the treasure blueprint that I found in the lottery unboxing event of the 'Gold Hunting Dragon Exchange'"

"The function is very simple, it gives me a lot of physical blessings, and gives me the ability to attack and touch spirits."

"But there are also big limitations, first of all, this thing consumes a lot, and it almost burns a lot of money...... Secondly, if you use it too many times in a short period of time or use it for too long at one time, there will be side effects such as madness, non-stop bleeding, limb twisting and mutation, etc. ”

"And sometimes if you're unlucky, you won't be able to do it for long...... This can lead to a crisis that has just been resolved, and often leads to a larger crisis, so I usually use more black dog blood - unless there is a more urgent situation in the hidden dungeon, as is the case now. ”

Lin Er said this, and Shen Chan nodded.

"I see, that's an unconventional tactic."

After all, not everyone is like themselves, and buying props and paying for props does not reduce any balance.

In other words, most of the normal players like Lin Er in the copper furnace game, whether they pass the level or use skills, there is still a "cost" and "cost-effective" problem to consider.

After knowing Lin Er's other hole card, Shen Chan was once again a little more sure of the current situation.

Although the consumption is very large, but Lin Er also has enough means to harm the spirit, then the negotiation will be much easier to carry out!

And Lin Er also spoke.

"So...... You should tell me what the hell is going on with this hidden scene, this dungeon! ”

Although he does not have the same strong desire for knowledge as Shen Chan, he does not have enough curiosity to risk his life to explore the truth.

But for Lin Er, it is still necessary to quickly figure out the current situation in a deadly game.

Shen Chan nodded, and he didn't sell it.

"Have you ever noticed that everything we do is 'watched' by some kind of thing or group of things with their own will that lurk in the shadows?"

Shen Chan asked, Lin Er thought thoughtfully, and then replied.

"I vaguely feel like this, but I didn't think too much about it...... As soon as you reminded me, I noticed. ”

"If there is an explanation, that explanation should not be just a lonely ghost without a will who continues his work by instinct, right?"

Lin Er asked rhetorically, and Shen Chan bowed his head slightly again, revealing a smile.

"Smart, although his temperament is still upright, he can see that he is indeed the top student of the year, and his brain is still not bad."

"In this hidden scene, or in this copy, there are one or more 'masterminds' with a unified will, who are observing and manipulating our behavior, and most of them are ghosts and ghosts...... I'm not surprised that you're aware of that, but it's remarkable. ”

Shen Chan said, Lin Er frowned.

"Praise people, praise people, how do you feel like yin and yang are angry with me."

Lin Er muttered like this, and Shen Chan chuckled.

Koko...... In short, the existence of 'commentary' actually reveals another point. ”

"The narration and the 'level settings' and 'runs' along the way, including all the mechanical mechanisms that we can encounter even when we enter this studio, even appear out of nowhere...... For example, drones are controlled by ghosts. ”

"There should be electronic devices in this control room that control most of the mechanisms, but there are some that can't be controlled, such as the 'sea monster' and the folding corridor."

"This goblin is more inclined to manipulate the 'environment' or 'rely on external objects' to interfere with us. Maybe it's his style, but maybe it's ...... It's his 'ability limit'. ”

"And even the goblins that have been chasing us, it doesn't seem to be able to let them attack us directly."

Shen Chan said this, pointing to the ghost who had just come in behind him.

Lin Er was stunned for a moment, and then spoke.

"This is a 'ghost'!"

"Many veteran players who have done the strategy have mentioned that many ghosts in supernatural dungeons, although they are very powerful and tricky, even if they have the means to attack the spirits, it is almost impossible to completely kill them, after all, their 'vital points' or parts that will be completely destroyed may not appear in the front ...... at all."

"But on the other hand, these goblins are limited in their desire to cause direct harm to people."

"Usually either they have met some fixed 'trigger' that allows them to use terrifying, overwhelming weird powers for a short period of time."

"Either that...... Step into their realm, the ghosts! ”

"Some of the ghosts in the ghosts can appear directly, but that means that its body will also be attacked."

"And some will choose to manipulate the environment in the 'ghost' to attack, whether it is changing the temperature, letting the objects in the ghost snake stone to death or killing the intruder, the means are very diverse, but they are all inseparable from the 'use of the environment' and 'borrowing foreign objects'!"

Lin Er explained in a flurry of words, and Shen Chan also had some understanding.

"Ah...... So, it turns out that this is a common trait of many ghosts. ”

"I should have visited the forums, Koko."

He smiled, then looked at the ghosts who had re-approached him and Lin Er.

Lin Er looked at the surrounding environment, and he became more and more curious.

"So, this hidden scene is its ghost? Or is it its ghost where I was trapped just now? ”

She asked, and Shen Chan shook her head.

"No, by the definition you described, I don't think it'......"

"Time is pressing, I'll ask one last question, Lin Er."

"Is this 'ghost' you are talking about necessarily a space in a physical sense?"
