"Activation, soul resonance."

With the sound of Duanmu Huai falling, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. Originally, only the ruins of the broken walls were left, but in Duanmu Huai's eyes, they began to blur, and in their place, they were broken phantoms.

This is not the view of this world, in fact, this is the power of soul walkers. At this moment, Duanmu Huai's soul has sensed and touched the existence of the subspace.

As I said before, subspace is the reflection of the past, present, and future of everything in the world. Most of the time, when the existence of reality is destroyed and destroyed, the reflection naturally disappears. But there are also some reflections that have not disappeared, perhaps out of some kind of attachment, perhaps out of some kind of resentment, or simply for reasons of luck, their essence remains in the subspace when reality is destroyed, forming a solidified fragment.

To put it simply, it's a bit like a bug in the game, where when you kill an enemy, you'll find that their shadow is stuck in place, or the corpse won't disappear, something like that. Of course, if it's a game, you just need to read or refresh it, but there is obviously no such good thing in the real world.

And it's not completely harmless, game bugs can cause the game to crash, or get stuck in the mission, or refresh indefinitely. These reflections that are "stuck" in the subspace will also have problems, for example, in many worlds, they will affect the real world in some form similar to ghosts and ghosts, which is one of the manifestations.

These shards are of little use to most people, but Soul Walkers are different.

Not only can they find the shards, they can go deep into them, and they can even control them and use them for their own use!

That's quite a great ability!

You know, many ancient civilizations had different, powerful powers and knowledge. But many times, their knowledge and power have been buried in the dust of history, and even artifacts will be destroyed——— but the projection scene in subspace is different!

They will last forever and never die!

Of course, summoning them to the present world also requires strength.

But if nothing else, just by summoning the vanished existence into reality, one can imagine how powerful this power is.

However, the benefits of these fragments are not limited to this.

As I just described, these fragments belong to the collection of bugs, that is, they are self-contained, which means that although they are in subspace, these fragments will not be attacked by demons! This is simply the best refuge for psionics!

As long as he can have these fragment projections, then the psionic person is equivalent to hiding his soul projection in the subspace in the safe, and no matter how much he uses his psionic energy, it will be difficult for the demons in the outside world to detect it.

This is equivalent to putting a mouse in a safe, you are putting hundreds of cats outside, and the mouse is making a fuss in the safe, and the cat can't find it.

Different fragments have different sizes, the smallest fragment may be just a house, the largest ......... Maybe it's a universe.

One can imagine how fierce a soul walker would be when he owned a universe.

When he excavated this ability through the front-end acacia, it was already in the middle of the year, which also made him regret it, because Xinghai OL is a dynamic real-time game, that is to say, there are some places you went to before, and then they may be lost or rebuilt for various reasons, and some ruins may disappear after playing, if you find out the true use of this skill when you first awaken, then your upgrade path will only be smoother, and at that time, you may be the strongest player in Xinghai OL——— Not one of them.

Of course, now for Duanmu Huai, this title has no meaning, and now he is the only player in this world.

The most important thing now is to find the complete fragments.

While thinking, Duanmu Huai strolled through the projection of ruins. Looking around, the scene nearby was similar to the ruins he had seen before, but without the cover of the sand, the appearance of the whole city became clearer.

"Huh?"

At this time, Duanmu Huai suddenly saw that there was a little light on the hillside not far from the city......... This immediately intrigued him, and he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards his destination.

It didn't take long for Duanmu Huai to come to the hillside, and in front of him was a small wooden house, which looked very simple and unpretentious. Duanmu Huai didn't hesitate to stretch out his hand, pushed open the door, and then walked into the house.

"Squeak.........!"

The wooden door slowly opened, and Duanmu Huai walked into the house, and the first thing he saw was ——— a pile of arms hanging from the ceiling.

“…………… It turned out to be a fake, which scared me. ”

Seeing these arms, Duanmu Huai was also stunned for a moment, and then he looked carefully and found that these arms were all prosthetics carved from wood.

But it hung densely on the ceiling, under the light of the candles......... It's really creepy.

At this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Finally, when the day comes, I can use my strength to protect my country."

With these words, suddenly, a translucent, ghostly figure of a man quietly appeared in front of Duanmu Huai, he was excited and excited, waving his hands.

"As long as I have this power, then my country will no longer have to worry about the suffering of war, and there will be no need for anyone to invade, and everyone will be able to live a peaceful and peaceful life!!"

Duanmu Huai just stood there, watching quietly, he was no stranger to this scene, any fragment that could be fortunately preserved contained the strong thoughts and intentions of the maker. It was clear that the young man was the owner of the house.

After saying these words, the man disappeared, and Duanmu Huai continued to move forward. Soon, he walked through the hallway and came inside, where the first thing he saw was a wooden workbench, and judging by the prosthetic limbs placed next to it, the man was supposed to be a puppeteer.

"Dolls are wonderful beings........."

It was at this moment that the figure of the man reappeared, sitting in a chair, as if he was carefully crafting something.

"Born from the hands of humans, imitating humans, but not human beings. Beautiful, pure, perfect......... That's what I'm looking forward to........."

The voice faded away, and the man's phantom shattered.

Duanmu Huai glanced at the work table in front of him and walked forward again, however, just as he walked to the next room.........

"Bang Dang!!"

Suddenly, a cup flew out and hit the ground hard, Duanmu Huai poked his head out and looked into the room, only to see that the place that should look like a study was already in a mess at the moment, the table was overturned, the teacups and teapots were smashed, and the man was panting for breath at the moment, sitting on the chair. His face looked very old, and I don't know if it was because of time or because of spirit.

"He lied to me! That liar! He lied to me! Those puppets are used to defend the country, not to invade other countries! He turned me into an invader, an executioner, with bloody hands!! ”

The man roared like a beast, holding his head in his hands, and his whole body trembled and trembled. Then, as if determined, he stood up.

"I'm definitely not going to let him get his way, I'm going to stop this, I'm going to destroy his ambitions completely, I'm sorry, it seems......... It's me who was naïve. ”

With that, the man reached out and placed something in his pocket on the table, then sighed.

"Hopefully, you'll find a meaning in your existence, my child."

After saying this, the man turned his head and walked out of the room with a look of death, disappearing without a trace.

I see.

After watching all this from the sidelines, Duanmu Huai almost understood what was going on. Judging from Alyssa's previous words, it is obvious that the owner of this house should be a very powerful puppeteer. It was he who created the puppet army in this country, but the original intention of this puppeteer was only to protect the country, and he didn't expect that the king would take the army of puppets he made to invade, and I heard Alyssa say that the king finally swelled to create a puppet that conquered the whole world, and it is estimated that this is also to make the man finally make up his mind to completely destroy him and his ambitions......... If his guess is correct, it was the man who finally succeeded in making the puppet, and used the powerful puppet to attack the palace, kill the king, and finally blow himself up and destroy the entire country, then his will and belief are indeed easy to solidify the fragments of the world.

Look now what he left behind here.

Duanmu Huai stepped forward, only to see a key inlaid with green gems lying alone on the table in the room, and at this time, a system prompt appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

【Activation Quest "Puppeteer's Legacy"】

【Objective: Obtain a Legacy】

[Description: Get the recognition of the puppeteer's will and get his legacy!] 】

"Tsk, it's a bit of a hassle."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

If you want to get these fragments, you need to go through various tests, which can basically be divided into three types.

One is to help the will within the fragment to fulfill wishes.

One is to defeat the challenges within the shards and prove your strength.

The last one, which is simpler, but also more troublesome, is that you have to be like-minded with the will within the shard.

To put it simply, it means that two people are like-minded and look at each other well, and he will give it to you directly.

If it's different——— then it's only a fight.

At this time, the player is about to ask, isn't it just dialogue options plus favorability? Can I just choose according to his preference?

Well, of course not.

Because of this communication, the other person will read the first thought in your head.

For example, if you enter the world of the will of a certain paladin and want to obtain his holy sword, then the other party asks you if you can observe the knightly virtues.

At this time, it is useless for the player to say that it is useless, if they have other thoughts in their hearts, such as "take it and sell it for money" or "you can use this to get stronger strength to PK", then the knight will directly refuse, and then the player will either directly rob it, or can only get out.

However, there is a third way, and that is persuasion.

Ideas can be changed, but if the player can convince the will to change his mind and admit that he is more reasonable, then it is not impossible.

By the way, bar refinement is not good.

And right now, what Duanmu Huai has to face is this test mode.

"I sense your presence, visitor."

With a cold, hoarse voice, the various parts hanging on the wall around him began to tremble, and then they flew over and combined together, and in the blink of an eye, a puppet head that was seven or eight points similar to the previous man was formed, staring at him deadly.

"You've seen my past, so, what do you think about it?"

"You made mistakes, you made up for your mistakes, that's all I can say."

Duanmu Huai quickly gave his opinion, he knew that at the level of consciousness, it was useless to lie, only to tell the truth.

"That's right, I think so too, I'm just making up for the mistakes I've made......... Well, young people ........."

At this, the puppeteer's tone became serious.

"If you want to get this power, what do you want to do with it?"

"Fighting, of course."

Duanmu Huai gave an answer without hesitation.

Just kidding, why am I here without fighting? Learn your sad spring and autumn carving figures at home every day?

"It's another battle!"

Hearing this, the puppeteer was furious.

"Don't you have anything else to think of but to fight?"

"Then I'd like to hear what else you think."

Duanmuhuai hugged his hands and looked at the puppeteer in front of him, basically this kind of person is an artist, and most of the artists are mentally ill, and the three views are completely different from ordinary people. He wanted to see what the puppeteer had to say.

"Dolls are beings that imitate human beings, but they will be more perfect than human beings, and once they have souls, they will become more wonderful beings..............."

"Uh, sorry for interrupting."

Seeing that the puppeteer was so excited, Duanmu Huai decisively interrupted his speech.

"To put it simply, you just want the dolls to have souls and make them more perfect beings than humans?"

"That's right!"

"And then?"

“…………… And then??? ”

Hearing this, the puppeteer was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Duanmu Huai.

"Yes, since you say that you have a soul, then it means that it is a living body, and it is not like the dolls you created before, the moment you complete the carving, it will be completed. It will grow, it will grow, it will think, it will observe. Just like a child, but one day it will find that it is not a human being, not even a living being, and it may even be the only one in the world that is different, it is different from everyone else, what will it do at that time? Do you have arrangements and plans? ”

"This ....................."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the puppeteer was stunned and speechless for a while.

Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, a doll with a soul is no longer just a simple work of art, but a life that will grow.

So, what exactly is it for existing? What's the point?

It was only at this time that the puppeteer was surprised to find out what he had done.

"I......... What the hell am I doing........."

“…………………”

Looking at the puppeteer who lowered his head, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders and did not speak. In fact, as a judge, he also has taboos. When the player chooses the Inquisitor class, several taboos come to mind, one of which is that the Inquisitor must not create any self-aware artificial AI, nor any similar soul race. Once the taboo is violated, all the skill attributes of the entire class will be sealed, which is basically equivalent to letting the player delete the number and start over.

It's not like there were no players in the past, and the results are all the same, which has caused a lot of controversy on the forum, some players think that I create a life is my thing, but there are also players who think that it is not a good thing to create a life irresponsibly. Duanmu locust is relatively still inclined to the latter. He feels that one thing must have a beginning and an end, and this irresponsible approach is very unpleasant.

So although Duanmuhuai likes kittens and puppies very much, he has never raised them, because Duanmuhuai knows that whether it is a cat or a dog, the life span is shorter than himself, and no matter how hard he tries, he will die earlier than himself.

So he looks down on artists like puppeteers in his heart, they just belong to the kind of three-minute heat, as long as they are cool. What the consequences will be, they never care and don't care. Just like those irresponsible guys, they buy cats and dogs back to raise them when they think they are cute, but they feel that feeding them is too troublesome, and they abandon them after raising them for a period of time, which is a manifestation of irresponsibility.

Therefore, Duanmu Huai did not hide his thoughts, and he also knew that in this kind of confrontation at the level of consciousness, the other party would definitely understand his thoughts, and it was pointless to hide this.

"Perhaps, I did something wrong."

The puppeteer was silent for a moment, then looked up.

"I know what you're thinking, it's true that I'm not a good father, and maybe I didn't think about it when I brought her into the world......... So......... I hope you can promise me, no matter what, to take care of her. ”

Faced with the puppeteer's request, Duanmu Huai frowned.

"It's hard to say, you should know that I will face countless battles next, and it is risky."

"I understand, I want you to guide her heart, so that she understands human beings, feels human beings, and feels her own ..............."

Speaking of this, the puppeteer's face was a little bitter.

"Sorry, this was supposed to be something I was going to do, but......... I'm afraid I don't have that chance anymore. ”

“…………… Well, I don't know if I'm sure or not, but I'll try. ”

Duanmu Huai can only say so much, after all, he has never raised a child, right?

After listening to Duanmu Huai's answer, the puppeteer nodded, and then turned into a ground and scattered parts on the ground, and then Duanmu Huai stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the key.

The next moment, the whole room began to tremble.

When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, he had returned to reality.

"Good, got it done..............."

Duanmu Huai lowered his head, looked at the things in his hand, and showed a smile.

It's finally a success!
