Chapter 106: Spiral
Shug walked twice around Verin's captive, curiously gazing at the unusual hair and sharp claws of the shackled waitress in front of him.
These are completely different from the young girl with a lively temperament before.
The thought that the other party had tried to hint at something to him made Xiuge feel uncomfortable.
"Why, are there really rat people?"
He muttered to himself.
So Snicky, who was lying on Shug's shoulder, immediately let out a slight protest, and after spending so much time with Shuge, the running rat had already roughly understood what the concept of "rat man" in Shuge's mouth was with his not low IQ.
It decided that the "nezumen" described by its master must be a great race with intelligence, power, and magic at the same time, and that would be the highest goal it pursued, and that as for the physically alienated humans like the one in front of them, it could only be an insult to the concept of "nezumen"!
"Okay, okay, only you are worthy to be a rat man."
Snik was so noisy that he could only say a few perfunctory remarks.
He walked over to the corpse of the male attendant he had slain, and rummaged through his body, and soon found a dull nameplate on the corpse's left wrist, which had been carefully polished, but when the light shone on it, it seemed to be absorbed, and no pattern was visible at all.
So Shug put the nameplate away, and then went to the waitress, rolled up her sleeve with the help of Verin, and found an identical nameplate on her right wrist.
"Miss Viline?"
The two of them closed their mouths at the same time, and then looked up together again.
In the next second, a new spell took effect on the spot, and Shug saw several translucent arms with great power appear in the air, and they precisely grasped the limbs of the comatose waitress, and then twisted them vigorously.
Xiuge heard a muffled snort from beside him, he quickly interrupted the sensory sharing with Snikich, turned his head to look in the direction of Wei Lin, but saw that at this moment she had finished the process of "spiritual interrogation", the mage's hand that was supposed to be suspended in front of the waitress dissipated without a trace, and Wei Lin herself took two steps back, leaned her body against the wall, frowned and pressed her temple with her hand.
Listening to Verin's words, Shug nodded, so he immediately sprang into action, using the touch of Calon to bring the already miserable waitress to the elevator.
At this moment, Shuge's perception was clearer than that of Verin, and in the darkness above, he clearly captured a trace of an invisible force that was intimately related to his metal disk, and this power gave people a feeling so oppressive and gloomy, very similar to the cold feeling emanating from the ancient creations in the dream shelter.
「026。」
Then, Vilene heard Hug's cry.
When it comes to "how to deal with captives", Willin takes a relatively compromised, prudent approach.
But as for Wei Lin's intention to do this out of a momentary kindness, or if she was simply curious about the magic of the Black Sun Society, this is not something that Xiuge can speculate.
….
"After the large-scale extension ritual is permanent, the actual space of this underground may be larger than we imagined."
I can't help it, I used to see this thing on the wall when I even went to the bathroom when I went to work.
The magical glow in Wei Lin's eyes finally went out, but she still frowned, obviously the symptoms of the headache had not completely dissipated: "The changes in their bodies are different from the normal 'wolf plague, illness, the power of magical rituals is not only affecting her body, but also disturbing her spirit, I can't clearly perceive her memories and thoughts, everything is in chaos."
Later, when the game was about to be launched, the publicity colleagues of the project team spread all kinds of resources everywhere, and it was no joke to say that even the cats in the company knew how to draw the logo of the Black Sun Society.
It's just that the current situation is concerned
In other words, this is indeed a "benevolent optimal solution".
This time, the number is "039".
"Drag her to the edge of the elevator......
"Figuring out what happened to them and getting them back to normal is going to require a dedicated healing mage and a laboratory."
"Hmm."
The mist appeared from his eye sockets, and under the special vision, the nameplate in the palm of his hand gradually became transparent, so that the pattern hidden under the special material gradually appeared.
"Interesting."
"Give me a moment...... In a few minutes, I'd like to try to interrogate her."
This is the pattern of the Black Sun Society, and Shuge is too familiar with it.
After a quick and brief explanation of her "brutality", Verin tore a page from the magic book with healing magic engraved on it and gently tossed it on the waitress's body, the pale green glow of life immediately pouring into the wounds on her body, causing them to stop bleeding quickly.
The young girl's severely distorted face froze at this moment, and her writhing body gradually stopped.
Using healing magic to repair bleeding wounds is intended to preserve the target's chance of survival.
"Ugh...... Yes, but it should be on the other side of the ocean."
Breaking off the target's limb with magic is done in order to bind it and ensure that it does not become a new hazard.
With that, Wei Lin raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
Hug flipped the nameplate over, and he saw a short series of numbers at the bottom of it.
That's a rat.
The appearance of the two attendants had actually revealed the fact that the owner of this "underground mansion" was most likely aware of the existence of the "uninvited guest", so after dealing with the matter at hand, the two of them invariably accelerated their travel, and under the path of the running rat, the two quickly stepped into the hidden spiral staircase and headed deeper underground.
"It's raining! Why don't you go quickly!"
The ice blades that had pierced and bound the waitress dissipated immediately.
The corners of Wei Lin's mouth twitched violently, and under the influence of natural instinct, her face turned pale again, and she spread out the magic book in her hand to cast a spell, but Xiuge on the side suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist hard.
….
The first thing he saw was a sun hidden in the darkness, and in the middle of the sun seemed to have a slightly open eye.
There was a crisp tooth-aching sound, and then the arms vanished, abandoning the waitress's severely twisted body to the ground.
Wei Lin frowned, "There is such a king?"
……
A larger, but equally deformed, blind mouse.
Shug controlled Snich to get inside, and found that behind the secret door was a hidden spiral staircase, apparently connecting the other underground floors, and it was through this passage that the two attendants had come here.
On the other side, the Rat of Madness, under the command of Shug, searched in the direction in which the two attendants had appeared, and when it reached the middle of the corridor, it found a half-hidden door between rooms numbered 214 and 215, which looked exactly the same material as the walls, and in the dim light, it was difficult to detect its presence by sight alone.
Once again, Wei Lin gave her professional answer: "The actual height of this underground mansion is already more than six floors, and the thickness between each floor is exaggerated...... Probably because building materials of ordinary thickness can't withstand the overly complex permanent density meter."
Shuge silently made a judgment, he removed the nameplate, and then turned around, turning his back to Verin and mobilizing the power of the messenger in the mirror.
"The previous idea was a little simpler......
"Hmm......"
"If this mutation in them is reversible
, in the current situation, this method can be used to force the ritual to terminate...... She shouldn't be your friend, Mr. Shuge?"
Shug didn't dodge, he stared at the distorted face in front of him, and said, "I saw her in the hotel before, and she was still like a normal person back then...... So I'm not sure if the changes in these people are reversible."
"Psychic interrogation? Here?"
Wei Lin raised her eyebrows, she wanted to question Xiuge's nonsense, but before she could speak, a heart-pounding wave of magic was transmitted.
Wei Lin squinted slightly, and she waved her hand to the side.
"Oh, it's a bit of a waste to have this kind of building technology but only use it to create underground nests, if it were known to some monarch or king who loves spectacle architecture, maybe the members of the Black Sun Society would be arrested as full-time architects."
The walls of the staircase were stamped with a large number of magical patterns, which extended from the highest part of the wall to cover every stone brick and staircase, and there were no handrails on the spiral staircase, so that a terrible dark well was formed near the center.
On the other hand, the young waitress who had been subjected to the magic of "Psychic Interrogation" fell into a complete state of stupor, and Shuge noticed that the symptoms of mutation on her body had begun to subside, her hideous distorted face was gradually changing in the direction of normal, and the claws on her palms and the gray-black hairs on her skin began to gradually turn into a faint magical mist......
"It's okay...... Let me take a break."
Verin nodded, and then she took out a high-quality crystal from her pocket and explained as she drew magic from it, "The essence of psionic interrogation is to have a huge impact on the spirit and will of the target, and under this impact, any ritual based on the operation of its spiritual foundation will be forced to be interrupted."
….
"Did you find anything?"
"Stream-level limb destruction...... Despite the scary name and the unpleasant process of casting spells, this is a compulsory course for all casters above the Stream, dedicated to imposing heavy restraint on certain dangerous enemies, and as a counterpart to the 'Limb Healing Technique' in healing magic."
"I have heard that the monarchs of some eastern countries have a strong pursuit of magnificent architecture, and sometimes they will even wage huge wars against their neighbors because of some magnificent wonders."
Shuge stretched out his hand and rubbed the nameplate, looked up at the waitress who was still struggling, and said, "It's the handiwork of the Black Sun Society, but these waiters are not supposed to be members of the Society, but more like their ...... The total number of test subjects, or modified guards, may be more than 40."
Probably because she was too close, the waitress turned her head sharply, and she opened her mouth fiercely, and let out a menacing roar.
"I might have a way to verify that."
Holding the magic crystal, Vivien stood in the corridor like a beautiful statue, and Shug saw that pale blue magical light was constantly flickering in her pupils, as if the mage's hand was constantly snatching memories from the other party's mental world and channeling them into Viline's brain.
The next moment, her mage's hand hovered in front of the waitress's body, and in order to further restrict the target's movements, more ice blades emerged, re-piercing and immobilizing the waitress's newly freed arm.
"I'm in trouble."
The scene that had happened in the old Ernst mansion was once again displayed in front of Xiuge, and he saw that Viline's mage hand was gently pressed on the forehead of the waitress, and then Vilin's magic power was directly "instilled" into the other party's spiritual world.
Wei Lin replied softly, closing her eyes that were still glittering with ice blue light, pursing her lips and adjusting her breathing, and after a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised her head.
Xiug shook his head, he didn't have a better suggestion in the face of this situation, so he honestly stepped aside, and Snick, the Running Rat, also rushed out again, starting to be on the underground level
Among them, they probed and patrolled.
"Materials...... It seems to be consistent with the stone statues in the room."
Shug muttered, and before he could react further, a black shadow fell from the top of the spiral staircase, and in the light of the magic wall lamp, the shadow fell not far in front of Shug and the two, and they struggled twice before getting up.
The brief void in her brain made her instinctively choose to trust Xiuge's judgment, but before the two of them had run a few steps, the strange words that Xiuge had just shouted were most thoroughly confirmed.
As the dark magic drew closer, a cacophony began to come from above the staircase, followed by a flood of black shadows sloping down the spiral staircase and the stairwell.
It did rain.
It's just a rain of rats.
