263 is not a dream
In a sense, I and Joe Licorice may be more complementary.
For example, she is obviously a psychoanalyst sitting in an office, but in the past, she had the illusion of being active on the front line and learned knowledge such as alien space exploration techniques; And even though I'm a fighter on the front lines, I don't even know anything about the tracking techniques that I must master on the front line as a law enforcement warlock.
All warlocks who are serious will have the basic skills of tracking with one or two hands, and Blue Bird is already a relatively partial warlock, and he has also shown the skill of using the opponent's body tissue or residual spirituality to the middleman and Wei Chi in the past.
In fact, ordinary law enforcement warlocks are also helpless in the face of our current situation, just if they can track, they can't move forward in this labyrinth-like alien space, and they must be a warlock like Qiao Licorice who has two skills at the same time to find the direction; On the other hand, it is true that Qiao Licorice lacks experience in front-line activities, and occasional mistakes are inevitable.
That being said, I think it's a bit outrageous to track down the bluebird and track down the bluebird's father.
Bluebird's father, for convenience, was later addressed as "Mr. Nguyen". When we found Mr. Nguyen, he was clumsily hiding and sneaking along the edge of the street, trying to escape by bypassing the demons wandering nearby. And just as people will definitely be caught playing hide and seek with the evil ghosts in their dreams when they have nightmares, it is useless for ordinary people to try to deceive demons with stealth.
Demons are able to capture the spiritual fluctuations that humans unconsciously emit, just as a shark can trace its prey through the faint smell of blood in the sea. When human emotions are impetuous, the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the unconscious will be more intense, and demons are especially sensitive to negative emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, and despair. Mr. Nguyen's stealth failed unsurprisingly, and I noticed that two demons were already following behind him, but he didn't know anything.
Joe Licorice and I didn't hide our tracks, and he saw us right away. Of course, the two-headed demon behind him also saw us. Probably stimulated, the two-headed demon immediately flew towards him. I lifted my finger and shot two indigo miniature blades.
Like a sniper bullet hitting a can full of carbonated drinks, the two demons are instantly exploded in the air. Mr. Ruan froze in place, and only looked back after a moment, speechless for a while.
I put Joe Licorice on the ground and walked up to him together. He turned his head to look at me, his face complicated, "You ......"
"Remember me? I'm Qiao Licorice, and I've met a few times before...... "Qiao Licorice also recognized Mr. Ruan, and she also seemed to wonder why the person she found wasn't a blue bird.
After all, Mr. Ruan is an ordinary person, and according to our previous reasoning, he should not be able to stay in the "public channel" of this different space.
Although I encountered it by mistake, it is not a bad thing. If we hadn't met him here, he would have been wiped clean by the two demons.
Joe Licorice continued: "Now something bad is happening in this city, and we are all law enforcement warlocks of the Security Service. Do you remember? The Security Service and the Law Enforcement Warlock are ......"
"No, I don't need to explain. I remember it all...... To be exact, I finally remembered. Mr. Ruan let out a sigh, "Wen Zhu has explained to me about the Security Bureau and the Law Enforcement Warlock before, but if it weren't for this terrifying thing, I wouldn't be able to recall it so clearly. ”
As he spoke, he made the same self-deprecating expression he had shown to me in the past.
And Qiao Licorice seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "Blue Bird...... The talisman that Wenzhu gave you before, do you still have it with you? ”
"Huh? With. I've always carried it. He took out a cyan amulet from his bosom, "I was talking to people in the company before, and this amulet suddenly emitted electric light, and the surrounding scene also changed, and everyone else disappeared. Not only that, but there were a lot of monsters around me that wanted to attack me. Fortunately, the electric shock from this amulet temporarily forced the monster back, and I barely escaped. ”
"Wenzhu told me that this amulet will protect me when I am in danger." He sighed, "This should be what she was referring to." Usually, I just carry this amulet with me as a birthday gift from my daughter, but I can't imagine that I will be saved by it one day. ”
Listening to his narration, I also understood why he stayed in this "public channel". It seems that when the pollution power fluctuation that spread in Liucheng kidnapped ordinary people before, the amulet resisted the part that tried to kidnap him. In this way, even if I came one step late, he might not have died in the mouth of the devil.
"No wonder I'm tracking it here." Qiao Licorice suddenly realized, "I didn't track it to the person, but to the amulet." Of course, the bluebird's amulet also has the spirit of the bluebird, and it seems reasonable that my tracking technique will go wrong and be attracted here. ”
"Is this a common situation?" I asked.
She looked a little confused, "It's not very common...... Could it be that the bluebird is too far away from us? ”
With that, she took out her compass and amulet again and reused her tracking technique. This time, she seemed to have incorporated the variables into the calculations, and then got a new direction forward.
"The bluebird should be in this direction." "You can't go wrong this time," she said firmly. ”
After speaking, she glanced at Mr. Ruan and then at me, seeming to hesitate a little.
I knew she probably thought of something, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your parents ......," she said, but still shook her head, "No, I'm sorry, it's nothing." ”
We move forward again. On the way, Mr. Nguyen asked us what was going on. As I dealt with the demons that came in frequently, I told him the general situation.
"It's not just us who have been affected, everyone in Liucheng has been kidnapped by this terrifying space?" He was shocked and said, "Is this kind of danger of death for millions of people common in your world?" ”
"Probably not that common......" I thought as I spoke.
Perhaps in the eyes of every ordinary person involved in this hidden incident, all they experienced was that everyone around them disappeared, leaving only this terrifying city where demons danced. At this very moment, I wonder how many lives may be dying out without us seeing them.
I feel the urgency of the situation, and I want to find Hakukoma and Hosho immediately. Before I met Mr. Ruan, I had also briefly entered the "Soul Burning Mode", and I wanted to try to see if I could directly lock on to the location of Bai Ju and Fa Zheng with the super main force level of awareness. But I don't know if it was purely because I couldn't do it or if they were deliberately hiding, all I could feel was "they were really in the city" and I couldn't capture the specific location.
I've got a little reasoning about Hakuko's plan. What he was doing at the moment was very similar to what the missionaries wanted to do in Puqing City, which was to lock down the entire city through a super-large phase space. The missionary wants to summon the ruins, while the white horse summons the nightmare Willow City, which is similar to the ruins, and both presumably have the effect of trapping everyone inside while blocking external reinforcements.
Assuming that Hakuju hadn't lied in the Prophetic Dream in the past, the essence of the missionary's original plan was to close Puqing City to simulate an isolated system, define all people within the system as "all humans", and then exert influence on the Great True Spirit by killing "all humans" with "pollution".
So, could the white horse have the same idea, wanting to transform all the people in Liucheng into immortals, and then exert influence on the Great True Spirit?
The intensity of this influence is certainly far less than that of all human beings, but it is enough to verify the correctness of his theory. He didn't want to pollute all mankind with his own hands, but wanted to make all the super organizations in the global hidden world realize the correctness of his theory, and let them do it. At that time, it will be a truly unstoppable rolling trend, and it will not be something that can be ended by simply killing the white horse.
There will be an advantage to the current approach of the white horse. That's because every ordinary person is assigned to their own "channel", so even if millions of people are transformed into immortals at the same time, the "pollution" will not be concentrated in one place...... The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my assumptions were probably close to correct.
And in this case, those ordinary people who were involved may not have died, and the "channel" they are in should not have as many demons as we encountered. Because the white horse doesn't want them to die, but wants them not to die. It's just that it's a huge project to turn all the millions of people belonging to different "channels" into immortals, what kind of means does Hakuju plan to use?
Furthermore, with the standard of the white horse, is it really just an attempt to replicate the missionary's plan?
Now Liucheng only has one super main force in my main force, assuming that Lie Que can rush back, after all, he is also seriously injured and has not recovered, and he can't expect his assistance. And even if the enemy is the Spiritist and the leader of the Law faction, I will have to do my best to shoulder the battle that follows.
I was thinking about how I was going to fight Fazheng next. The "Complete Burning Mode" must be used on the body of the white horse, and it would be too wasteful to use it on the body of Fazheng. The headache was that I wasn't sure how I was going to defeat Fa Zheng just by using the "Soul Burning Mode".
Ideally, I would be able to defeat Fa Zheng with a high-frequency sword shoot, but he can always anticipate the enemy plane's signs of making the first move and seal my special move. Bite Blood once recommended that I learn her fighting style to overcome Fazheng's observation, and during this time, I have studied the memory of Bite Blood seriously, but I can't integrate it in such a short time.
I can only see if I can show my learning results in the on-the-spot performance.
While I was mentally prepared, I also noticed that Mr. Nguyen was observing me and Qiao Licorice. When he saw me turn his gaze, he asked bluntly, "I saw you carrying this Miss Qiao on your back before, what is the relationship between the two of you?" ”
"It's a colleague." I said without hesitation.
Joe Licorice smiled, "You don't think there's anything between us, do you?" ”
"It's good if you don't have it." Mr. Nguyen said, "Wenzhu is introverted, and if her friend snatches her love, I'm worried that she will just cry secretly under the quilt." ”
"Introverted ......" I thought for a moment that I was talking about someone else, but when I turned my head to look at Qiao Licorice, she nodded convincingly.
"I remember Wenzhu mentioned it to me when she was in middle school, she said that she had a boy in her class who she liked. That person is you. Mr. Ruan looked at me and spoke, "Listening to what she said before, I thought you were a boy with a sunny personality, but now you look more like Wenzhu in the past." ”
I recalled the old Bluebird, "She used to be really not very outgoing in the class, but now she looks much more cheerful. ”
"That must be a recklessness." He said.
Hearing this, I woke up like a dream.
Because I haven't seen a bluebird in the past years, I have always felt that it is normal for her personality to change, although Qiao Licorice has also talked about her withdrawn personality when she first became a law enforcement warlock, after all, it was also a past many years ago. But think about it again, if she has only blindly pursued power since I disappeared on the nameless mountain, how can she become sunny and gentle?
Or is it that in fact, she has never changed, and the sunshine and gentleness are just her stubbornness?
If so, who is she trying to force against? I can't think of a second answer.
"The bluebird should be around here." Qiao Licorice looked at the compass, "The reaction is weak and vague, but it's not far away. It is estimated that it is ...... in this direction"
“…… Near here? I gathered my thoughts for a moment and looked around, "The Security Bureau doesn't look like it's around here." ”
"Well, it looks like she didn't stay in the Security Service." Her mood seemed to improve, as if she was expecting to see something.
Suddenly, she looked at the street corner ahead. And at this moment, three figures came out of the corner of the street.
The person at the head is none other than the blue bird, she seems to be hiding her spiritual fluctuations, and her movements are also very slight. After seeing us, she was stunned at first, and then her face showed surprise.
I immediately noticed the two men behind her. As soon as I saw them, I felt my head go blank for a moment. They were two middle-aged men and women in their forties, my father and mother.
They also all stayed on the "public channel"? Why?
Why is Bluebird with them? Is it just a coincidence? Was it the bluebird that helped them avoid being kidnapped by the fluctuations of the power of pollution?
Of course, I was not the only one who was stunned, and my parents were also stunned when they saw me.
My father, Li Yan, looked at me many times and finally spoke after a while, "...... It wasn't a dream. ”
I once personally rescued him trapped in the nightmare Liucheng in the Liucheng collective sleepy incident, although he used the code name of "Ren Sai" at the time, but his appearance changed back to the appearance of a fourteen-year-old due to the dream, and he was even drunk by Wei Chi in front of his real name.
And now, he is no longer the Li Yan of his twentie-year-old youth; At the same time, he had clearly recalled everything.
