Chapter 19: The World of Faces
Dealing with this girl is not dangerous for Duanmu Huai, but it is tricky.
"Listen to me..............."
"Don't come here!"
"I'm not your enemy.................."
"Don't, don't come! My father said, don't let me talk to strangers, you go away!! β
"Hahh..............."
Looking at the purple-haired girl opposite, Duanmu Huai was almost speechless.
At first, Duanmuhuai thought that he was going to have a vicious battle with the other party, but when he really got started, he found that the combat effectiveness of the girl in front of him was not very strong, and he was between Duanmuhuai and Duanmuhuai. This can be regarded as a relief for Duanmu Huai, fortunately, this girl's combat effectiveness is not strong, and if she is replaced by Ao Jisi, she only needs to punch βββ estimate that she will kneel on the ground and beg Duanmu Huai not to die.
That's the combat power that can tear apart the bloodthirsty madman with his bare hands, and at present, Duanmu Huai, a level 20 judge, can't bear it at all.
But soon, Duanmu Huai regretted it.
He found himself now preferring to fight the other party.
Perhaps because she witnessed her father being killed, the girl at the moment fell into a state of crazy hysteria, no matter what Duanmu Huai said, she was like "I don't listen, don't listen, don't listen", which made Duanmu Huai almost desperate.
There's no way, the soft ones can't work, only the hard ones!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth and rushed towards the girl again, this time he clenched the war hammer and blasted it out at the girl. A hammer knocked the wrench in the girl's hand away, and before the girl could react, Duanmu Huai stretched out his big hand, grabbed the girl's slender wrist, and pressed her heavily against the wall.
The girl's wrists are very slender and thin, Duanmu Huai can grasp them all with one palm, and the girl is also in a panic at the moment, and she can't stop writhing her body and struggling desperately. Then Duanmu Huai sighed, stretched out his free other hand, took off his helmet, and stared at the girl.
"Look at me!"
"Wow βββββ!!!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's roar, the girl stiffened in fright, and then she subconsciously raised her head and looked at Duanmu Huai.
Then............... The girl's head tilted, and she lost consciousness.
At the same time, the surrounding earth began to tremble again, as if it were an earthquake, and for a while, the entire Western-style pavilion collapsed, and the boundless darkness completely swallowed Duanmu Huai in an instant.
When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was no longer the previous mansion, but a ruin covered with vines and weeds. A ray of early morning sunlight emerged from the gap in the trees, reflecting the dilapidated wreckage in front of Duanmu Locust.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Hahh..............."
Sighing helplessly, Duanmu Huai silently picked up the helmet and put it back on.
It seems to have failed.
Although it failed, Duanmu Huai did not leave, this kind of place is like a copy, and inside is a circular world. In other words, by the end of the evening, he can enter the mansion again and repeat everything he saw before until he finds a way to solve the problemβββ damn it, how can this be solved!
Duanmu Huai probably understood what was going on here, a father lost his beloved daughter, so he wanted to resurrect her, but the resurrected daughter was not the daughter he knew, but a new life. But in any case, he touched the taboo of the resurrection of the dead, so he was approached and destroyed. And the girl who saw her father killed went crazy, and finally ............... Since the elven scouts can tell the story in its entirety, does that mean that in the end it was good that triumphed over evil?
So, how do you break the game...............
Although this is a novice planet, Duanmu Huai has not experienced the imperial plot, and he started to walk in the east of Aurora before he crossed, after all, the initial region was divided according to the server location at that time. In the plot of the empire, Duanmu Huai can only be regarded as having heard of some more famous events, but he has not participated in it. With a fragmented copy like this, he's even more clueless.
"I don't understand, master."
Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking hard about how to break the game, Okis suddenly spoke.
"Huh? What's the problem? β
"The gentleman."
Ogis thought for a moment and whispered.
"I don't understand why he acted so contradictory, I can see the kindness that gentleman showed to his daughter, but at the same time, he hated this daughter immensely, but if he hated the other party, why did he risk his life to protect her?"
"That's how contradictory humans are."
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
"I can almost guess that, on the one hand, he did feel heartache that it was not his own daughter who was resurrected, but on the other hand, his daughter was resurrected."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ I don't understand what you mean, master. β
Ogis frowned, thought for a moment, and shook her head.
"There are two ways for humans to affirm themselves. One is the appearance and the other is the soul. β
Duanmu Huai said as he pointed at Ogis.
"You see, just like the name Ogis, it only represents your existence, this is a name that belongs only to you, and when I call the name Ogis, I mean you, this puppet girl with silver hair and two ponytails, wearing a beautiful dress, cute-looking, taciturn and full of curiosity. The former is used to describe your appearance, while the latter is used to describe your personality and interior. If one day, your soul is changed to a different person, no longer so taciturn, but a cheerful and outgoing girl, then in my opinion, it is no longer you......... At least not you I know. β
"But am I still me?"
"There is a lot of mismatch between what you know and what others know."
It's like when playing a game, everyone thinks that she is a short-tempered Sichuan girl, and she would never have imagined that there was a two-meter-five big man inside.
Duanmu Huai stood up as he spoke, he planned to look for it in the ruins of this foreign pavilion to see if there were any clues left.
"That's why humans are very complicated."
Hearing this, Ogis was silent, wondering if she understood or not......... But for Duanmu Huai, that's all he can say.
"That's right."
At this time, Duanmu Huai suddenly thought of something, he turned his head, took off his helmet and looked at Ogis.
"Ogis, what do you think of me?"
Speaking of which, O'Gis has also seen Duanmu Huai take off her helmet more than once, but she has never reacted, which also makes Duanmu Huai a little curious.
This time, Ogis was quick to answer.
"I like the way the host looks."
"Oh? It's true? β
The puppet girl is silent, but Duanmu Huai thinks she can't lie, and I'm a little happy to hear this answer at this time, it seems that there are still people who like me.
"Yes, I can't distinguish humans very well at the moment, the owner's appearance is very recognizable, I like it very much."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Ogis's answer, Duanmu Huai silently put on his helmet and turned around.
Thank you.
After being stabbed in the back by Ogis, Duanmu Huai quickly cleaned up his mood and began to look for clues again.
He first went to the cemetery he had seen in his soul memory beforeβββ well, it had been smashed to pieces, even the tombstone had been smashed to pieces, and he couldn't tell who was buried inside. So in desperation, Duanmu Huai had to come to the ruins of the Western-style Pavilion again to see if he could collect anything useful.
However, on the way to rummage, Duanmu Huai's heart was also full of doubts.
The reason is simple, that is, the man died too ......... It's flat.
If people who don't know the truth saw the previous scene, they might think that the group of soldiers was too aggressive, but Duanmu Huai knew that if the other party was really a necromancer, then the soldiers' actions were completely fine.
But herein lies the problem.
A genuine necromancer, even if he is biased, will not die so without a card.
Is it a fraud?
It's not like that...............
Assuming that what Duanmu Huai saw before was the truth, then that man resurrecting his dead daughter could indeed be called the standard operation of a necromancerβββ but ......... In fact, there are subtle differences.
As a veteran player, Duanmu Huai knows a lot about undead and necromancers, and also knows the various methods of necromancers. To put it simply, if a necromancer wants to bring the dead back to life, there are generally only two means.
One is to use the forbidden necromancy to imprison the soul of the deceased in the body, creating the illusion of the resurrection of the dead.
The other is to resurrect only the body, making it a non-self-conscious, zombie-like existence and a puppet.
But the purple-haired girl's performance was different from both. She has no memories of the past, and she is not a puppet without ego.
Of course, it is also possible that the necromancer made a deal with the Chaos Evil God, and the latter used some way to deceive himβββ but this possibility was also eliminated by Duanmu Huai, because when the purple-haired girl went berserk before, he did not feel the power and breath from the Chaos Evil God.
The last unbelievable conclusion is that this man ......... Somehow, in the body of death......... Created a whole new soul?
This is not impossible, because when Duanmu Huai subdued the girl at the end, he also keenly observed that the bandages on the girl's neck, as well as the marks on her body and chest that seemed to be stitched, coupled with the bolt on the girl's head that seemed to run through the head, it was easy to remind Duanmu Huai of a rather famous Frankenstein in his own world.
Frankenstein.
This story can also be regarded as popular, Dr. Victor uses the body of a dead man, stitches it to create a new life, and awakens it. Of course, the story is a tragedy in the end, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that if you look at Frankenstein's story in the light of it, then all the questions that happen here have answers.
First of all, the man is not a necromancer, he may be some kind of scholar or scientist who used a method similar to Frankenstein to resurrect his daughter, of course, outsiders will not care about these subtleties, as long as they see the resurrection of the other person's dead daughter, they will think that this man has either sold his soul to the evil god, or succumbed to the darkness and became a necromancer.
This can also explain why that man is so weak, because he may have been just a simple, powerless scholar in the first place, and naturally did not have the strength of a necromancer.
The second is the soul in the purple-haired girl's body, a brand-new born soul, as Duanmu Huai knows, neither magic nor evil gods can create a new soul out of thin air, only the story of Frankenstein, but there is a little possibility.
Unfortunately, this did not help me in my current investigation.
Duanmu Huai almost turned the entire mansion upside down, and still didn't find any useful information, he didn't even know the name of the purple-haired girlβββ well, if he could know her name, maybe the communication would be smoother.
Just maybe......... Who knows?
As night fell, Duanmu Huai had to give up hope of continuing to search for clues from the remains of these weeds and vines, and the pig-killing knife of time had almost wiped out all traces left here.
Now it seems that he can only enter that world again and look for clues from it.
