89. Opening drumbeat
Li Nuo has always believed that there is a moat between himself and the original owner.
He doesn't empathize with the memories of the original owner.
In fact, it is.
He acts from the subjective perspective in meditation.
He saw the doll that his parents had bought for his little daughter, heard his parents' praise for his little daughter, and observed the disgusted looks of his parents when they looked at him.
These pictures, sounds, and details of demeanor are presented in front of Li Nuo's eyes in the form of memory reenactment.
The resentment in the heart of the original owner also surfaced in Li Nuo's heart at the same time.
But Li Nuo remained unmoved.
He silently endured what happened to the original owner and experienced the mentality of the original owner.
The unfair treatment and the grievances of the original owner passed through his heart, but they did not leave any trace.
"I see your past suffering, Leno Jarvis. I'm not one to be trapped in the memory of suffering, even if I'm in the middle of it right now. ”
Li Nuo closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.
The memories in his mind are still playing.
He heard the harsh voices of the original owner's parents, and felt the grievances and resentment of the original owner when he was bullied.
Li Nuo exhaled slowly and muttered to himself:
"People often think that suffering makes people stronger. But in fact, the vast majority of people will be tormented by suffering. Weakened, disabled, and dying until death.
"In my opinion, suffering is never worthy of being celebrated.
"What we should really aspire to is the reason, steadfastness and courage that we show in the face of suffering.
"I will keep the soul pact between you and me, Leno Jarvis. Now, let your memories go with the wind. ”
As the words fell, Li Nuo heard a sound that seemed to shatter out of nowhere, faint but incomparably clear, as if it came from his head.
After that, a cool trickle flowed out of the depths of his mind, circling around his cerebral cortex and finally returning to the depths of his mind.
This brief burst of comfort made Li Nuo let out a satisfied moan, like drinking a cold Coke in the summer.
[System News: You have successfully recovered from a memory of "Leno Jarvis".] 】
[Your "Spirit" +1.] 】
[Your maximum [Energy] +1]
[You have recovered 1 energy.] 】
[Your current energy is 412/16.] 】
[You meditated for 3 hours and consumed a total of 30 soul strength.] 】
Li Nuo opened his eyes and smiled at the gray wall.
The difficulty of improving this "spiritual" attribute was far less than he imagined.
Just looking at other people's memories and feeling the changes in other people's hearts, you can get 1 point of "spirit", which is also too convenient and fast.
The meditation method developed by the Death Club is hard not to love.
Li Nuo grinned, looked at his personal panel, and then the corners of his mouth froze, changing from a playful smile to a bitter smile...
The consumption of this meditation is no joke, is it? 30 Soul Strength for 1 "Spirit"? What's the difference between this and robbing?
It's a pity that he worked hard to save 60 soul strength, and cut it in half at once, leaving only 30 points.
Sure enough, "high efficiency" corresponds to "high consumption".
This 30-to-1 conversion ratio is really unbearable.
"Forget it, the soul strength is gone, and I can collect it again. I've finally found a way to raise my spirit, and I should be happy. ”
Li Nuo rubbed his stiff cheeks, stood up, walked to the door, and looked out.
It's about 9 p.m.
Within 1 hour at the earliest, and 3 hours at the latest, there will be chaos in the Legion fortress.
You have to prepare for what's next.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, facing the wall, Li Nuo wrote and drew on the dusty wall, sketching a flat map of the Legion's fortress with his fingertips.
He's always had a good sense of space.
Last time, he accompanied Su Li around the fortress a few times, and he had already figured out the entire above-ground part.
Speaking of Sulie...
Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
In order to stabilize Su Li and not go further with the other party, he had to use his self-created "Gutatis Confrontation Card".
If he wants to be stable, he had better kill Su Li, so as to prevent the other party from leaking secrets.
However, Li Nuo thought to himself that he was not so ruthless, so forget it.
"Eh, I'm still too young. Although he can gain insight into the truth, he can't kill the killer. And killing may not solve the problem, maybe Su Li has already reported the matter between me and her to the main messenger behind her. ”
Li Nuo shook his head, sighed, and continued to make a simple map of the fortress.
"Da, da, da"
Footsteps came from the hallway outside the door.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and waved his arm to smear the wall, erasing the half-drawn map.
The footsteps gradually approached, and soon came to Li Nuo's door.
He looked up and met a pair of teary eyes.
The person who came was forced by MI2 to go on a blind date with Li Nuo, and finally really fell in love with Li Nuo's Su Li.
Li Nuo looked at the other party's teary eyes, so he had to stand up with a forced smile and walked to the door.
The guards beside Su Li kept a straight face, and knocked on the door panel with the metal stick in his hand, making a clanging sound:
"Step back and don't go near the door. You have 10 minutes to talk. ”
Su Li felt in the satchel she was carrying, and took out a stack of papers and stuffed it to the guards:
"I have some personal matters to talk about, so please recuse yourself, do you think that's okay?"
The guard rubbed the paper in his hand, nodded slightly, dropped a sentence, and walked away expressionlessly:
"Remember, it's only 10 minutes."
When the guards walked away, Su Li approached the door panel, tears glistening in her eyes.
She wiped away her tears and whispered:
"Jarvis, you're not being bullied, are you? I checked the guards outside, and they promised to give you food and drink on time..."
Li Nuo sighed silently in his heart.
The power of his skin is really amazing, and the "charm" that is three times that of ordinary people is too lethal.
To be honest, this level of "charm" should not be much in the city. There is a large population, there is no shortage of handsome men and women, and everyone has a way to vent their loneliness.
But if you put it in a legion fortress with strict rules and regulations, it will be powerful, enough to seduce the soul of every lonely woman.
Facing Su Li, who had completely entered the state of love brain, Li Nuo shook his head and interrupted the other party's words:
"Su Li. Thank you for doing so much for me. Thank you. ”
"What.." Su Li's expression froze, her mouth open, and the tears in her eyes were even worse.
Li Nuo slowly walked to the door panel and said:
"But you have to be clear, we can't do it. I knew this from the beginning. I confess that your appearance, stature, learning, and the work you do are impeccable. If we had changed the time, the place, the identity, and met again, I think we would have a better outcome.
"But now, Suri, recognize the reality. Don't waste your time and money on me as a troubled person, it will not only make you miserable, but it will also add to my burden.
"My existence is a mistake, so let's end it with separate perms."
Su Li covered her mouth, lowered her head, and tears welled up in her eyes:
"I know, Jarvis. I've known about you from my chief for a long time. I knew we weren't going to end up like this, but I wanted to do something about it. ”
The so-called wishful thinking is actually similar to wetting pants.
Everyone can feel the smell of someone's wishful thinking, but only that person can feel the warmth...
Although this is a bit vulgar, it is not rough...
Li Nuo faced Su Li, who was crying more and more fiercely, raised his hand and knocked on the door panel:
"Suri, listen to me. What time is it? ”
Su Li barely stopped crying, sobbing and rummaging in her satchel, took out the mechanical clock and looked at it:
"Now... It's 9:30 p.m.. Slippery. ”
"Where is the safest place in the Legion fortress, guarded by the Fist of the Empire at all times?" Li Nuo asked again.
"Slippery.. The armory and the medicine warehouse are the safest, and the medicine warehouse is in the innermost part of the medical department... There will be several ensigns guarding there. ”
Li Nuo thought for two seconds and then said:
Okay, I see. It's almost time, you go back. That's it for both of us, got it? Don't let yourself sink too deep. You will meet more suitable people in the future. ”
Su Li shed a few more tears, covering her face with her hands, and crying with a whimper.
"I know, I know... I just can't accept your situation all at once... Why are they doing this to you. You're just following orders. You're not a spy for the Death Society, nor are you a robber for money and murder, why should they do this..."
Su Li left crying, and her beautiful figure was indescribably lonely.
It wasn't until the gate at the end of the corridor was closed by the guards that her cry completely dissipated from Li Nuo's ears.
"Woohoo." A pair of eyes popped out from the door panel diagonally opposite.
The owner of the eyes grinned at Li Nuo and called twice:
"Man, there are two of them. We all heard it. How did you get a woman to die for you? ”
"Hey, hey, yes.."
"A woman came running up at night and was crying there, and my heart was about to break."
Sounds of playful conversation could be heard from the nearby confinement cell.
The guards heard the commotion, opened the gates, and knocked the walls with metal rods a few times, and the hallway fell silent.
Li Nuo didn't have the time to deal with these soldiers.
He returned to the ground and sat cross-legged as he continued to sketch out a map of the fortress.
…
"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum..."
In the dimly lit confinement room, Li Nuo was holding his arms and staring at the map he had made.
Suddenly, there was the sound of bubbles churning in the thatched pit in the corner.
"The undead are coming?"
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, quickly wiped off the map, and came to the pit to look at the water.
A few wisps of dark green sewage, rising from beneath the surface of the water, send clumps of bubbles to the surface.
These bubbles also take on a dark green color.
They explode on the surface of the water, sending gases of the same color into the air.
Li Nuo locked onto the strangely colored gas with his gaze, releasing deconstruction.
[System News: You are about to deconstruct "a wisp of undead poisonous mist.] 】
"Yes, as I thought. Use the connection between the groundwater and the fortress waterways to spread the undead poison fog inside the Legion fortress. This was the first step in the Necromancy's attempt to destroy the Korabo Legion's fortress. This step alone was enough to kill a third of the people in the fortress. Those who survived were all sergeants who had received the first dose of booster medicine, or ordinary soldiers and ordinary people who had not fallen asleep. ”
Li Nuo did not reveal his plan to Su Li, nor did he give Su Li any further warning.
Because there is no need, and no reason, to protect someone who will no longer have a relationship with you when you may expose yourself.
What's more, this person approached himself completely by following the orders of MI3, rather than thinking from the heart.
As Li Nuo said before:
Change the time, change the place, change the identity, and meet again, then there will naturally be a better result.
The mistake lies in each other's identities and the timing of their encounters. After all, who doesn't love a kind light with a peach body.
Li Nuo is not the kind of person who is overflowing with kindness, and he will not think about protecting Su Li.
Yes, Su Li's delicate face and fruitful waist failed to shake his mind.
Li Nuo took off his jacket and stuffed it into a pit to block the bubbles in the water.
The poisonous gas that wafted out of the pit was much less at once.
Li Nuo moved to the door, squinting and looking out.
There was already a faint trace of poisonous gas wafting out of the confinement cells on either side of the corridor.
The gas came out of the windows of the door panels, and as if no one was around, it entered the bright corridors, followed the ventilation system in the basement floors, penetrated into the vents in the walls, and drifted down the pipes to the rest of the castle.
Li Nuo took off his pants and filled the small window on the doorboard, blocking it entirely, delaying the time for the poisonous gas outside the house to enter the house.
He had a way to survive in the poisonous mist, but that would drain energy and soul strength.
In order to save the few spell casting resources he had left, he had to get his breathing mask as soon as possible.
Li Nuo looked at the wall, his gaze penetrating the layers of walls, and landed on the guards' duty room.
He activates "Track the Living" and sees the two guards sleeping in the duty room.
"Gollum, Gollum"
Two muffled noises came from the pit in the corner.
A large cloud of poisonous gas erupted from the gap in his jacket and roamed the cramped confinement chamber.
Li Nuo listened to the movement outside, nodded secretly, and began to calculate the best time to hold his breath.
"Hey, hey!"
"Bell, bell!"
A soldier woke up from his dream, knocked on the door, and shouted into the hallway:
"Hey, hey, hey! Guardsman! Come here! What's going on! cough cough cough... Why is there undead gas in my room! cough cough..."
A hoarse cry for help came from another confinement cell:
"Help! Open the door! cough cough... Help me! Is anyone there! Guardsman! ”
The cry of coughing and wheezing reached Li Nuo's ears, and the third underground floor became noisy.
The soldiers, miserable, desperate, helpless, like people suffocated by quicksand, like landlubbers sinking to the bottom.
The guards they had hoped for did not show up.
Only Li Nuo knew that the two guards were already dying, and what killed them was alcohol and poisonous mist wafting from the pool.
"Bell, bell, bell!"
There was a muffled noise next door, and the soldiers in the confinement chamber banged on the door like crazy.
The soldiers who were still alive also began to pound on the door panels, eager to escape from their graves.
"Bang dang!" The door panel was forcibly smashed open and slammed against the wall.
A strong soldier, clutching his chest and coughing violently, came out of the confinement chamber and walked with difficulty against the wall.
"Dude... Ahem, ahem... Help... Ahem. Help me open the door. ”
"Ahem, open the door, man... I'm going to die... Ahem"
"Open the door... Open the door..."
The other soldiers in the confinement room saw the soldier walking into the corridor and hurriedly called for help.
The soldier, who had been expected by everyone, had not taken a few steps in the corridor before he fell to the ground with a clatter.
His fall seemed to be the drumbeat that opened the chapter of death.
A series of heavy falling objects came from the confinement chamber.
In the blink of an eye, there was only one living person left in the huge underground three floors.
Li Nuo took a deep breath, held his breath, took off the pants from the window, and put himself on..
He locked his gaze on the corpse of the soldier in the corridor and said silently:
"Arise, dead."
Invisible energy fluctuations passed along Li Nuo's line of sight and threw them into the soldier's corpse.
The soldier, who had just lost his breath, moved his joints like a puppet in advance, and slowly rose from the ground.
"Ah~ Is this the power to manipulate the dead? It's really fascinating. No wonder so many people worship death. ”
Li Nuo sighed silently and gave the order to open the door to his first deceased servant.
"I'm sorry, Korabo Legion. Between the shackles and suffering you have inflicted on me, I will not do anything for you in this feast of death. I will quietly watch you walk into the grave and turn into the dust of history... I don't know how many soul crumbs the death of the extraordinary can bring to me. It's really exciting. ”
"Bang dang."
The deceased outside the door slammed open the door for Li Nuo and stood silently to the side, greeting his freed master.
“Mhhh~”
Humming "Rise up Dead Man," Leno emerges from his confinement chamber like a poet strolling in the sun.
