Chapter 492: Suspicion of the Devil

The ruins of Acacia.

A figure in a purple masked cloak sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, as if in meditation, and a purple energy surged from his body.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked into the distance and muttered, "The breath of the key has appeared." Either way, get it back. ”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes again, and there were whispers in his head that humans couldn't understand, but he could understand the meaning of every word.

It is the voice of another world, and it is the voice that will eventually bring extinction to this world.

Everything is planned, just get the keys back, and that's it.

The Pulse Bazaar.

After a week's journey, Luki arrived here, and although he was still some distance from Acacia, he was already quite close.

The Bone Seal Market is a market built on the ribbed remains of some ancient beast, the size of a small city, and the remains of that ancient beast are staggering.

A single piece of bone is at least a few tens of meters high, and two rows of ribs are lined out at the same time, and under this rib cage humans build houses and camps, sell goods, and is a well-known market base.

It's hard to imagine that such creatures once existed in the Land of Runecraft, at least now that they are extinct.

Taliyah is looking forward to this place, because it is a place where merchants come and go, and it is said that anyone who has money can buy anything here.

She wanted to hear about her tribe here.

When the three of them arrived, it was already afternoon.

For some reason, the sun in this area is amazingly hot, and the light is violently released overhead, making people feel inexplicably weak.

However, the pith market is very lively, and the merchant tents on both sides of the huge rift valley are lined up, all the way on.

Some of the vendors shouted hard, and all kinds of goods were placed there, selling everything.

People come and go on the road, and there is a lively atmosphere.

"I'd like to stay here one more day and ask for news about my tribe, okay?"

Taliyah asked, looking at Luki.

"Naturally." Lucci didn't mind, and he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

"That's great, let's go find out the whereabouts of the intelligence dealer first."

Taliyah said happily.

As she walked through the bazaar, she inquired about information.

Usually like this kind of bazaar, there are the kind of news dealers who know a lot of things, and they don't go out, but they know things that many people don't know.

It can also be sold for a good price.

After asking a few merchants, the name Taliyah heard the most was 'Klor'.

So she began to inquire about Klor's whereabouts again, and like a detective, she found the tent where Klor's residence was located.

But the timing of their arrival was not good.

A woman in her thirties, her skin was dark, but her appearance was okay, and said, "Klor, who is seriously ill now, I am afraid that she will not be able to receive you, so please leave." ”

"Seriously ill?" Taliyah was puzzled, "Isn't it impossible to heal?" ”

"I don't know, but there's nothing I can do about it at the moment." The woman sighed and said again, "So please forgive me, three of you." ”

"Okay." Taliyah sighed in disappointment.

When Lu Qi heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I'm just a doctor, so you might as well let me see it." ”

His words surprised Taliyah, who had not yet known that Luci would see a doctor.

The woman also glanced at Lu Qi and hesitated: "Then please help me take a look." ”

She thinks that Lu Qi should be quite young, not like he is very good at medicine, but at the moment he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

So the three of them were welcomed into the tent, and they immediately smelled the pungent smell of medicine, which was very strong.

It didn't take long for him to see Klor lying on a bed.

His breath was short, and his face was like ash, gray and gray, very bleak.

Hearing someone come in, he opened his eyes, glanced very weakly, and coughed, "Rosa, this is"

"This is the doctor I found for you, to help you see your illness."

Rosa said as she sat down beside him.

"It's useless, no one can cure this disease." Kroll himself felt that there was little hope, and he was powerless to speak.

"Try it anyway." Rosa sighed again.

Luqi observed Klor, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's talk about his illness first." ”

Rosa began, "At first it was just weak, like she had a fever. I thought it would pass quickly, but I didn't expect it to get worse and worse, and finally it became like this. Many doctors came to see it, but they couldn't find the reason, and prescribed all kinds of medicines, but after drinking it, they didn't see any effect. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi looked at Klor and asked, "When did you notice that something was wrong?" ”

"A week ago." Kroll said with a cough.

"A week ago?" Taliyah couldn't help but be surprised, she changed from a normal person to what she is now in a week?

"Describe how you feel something is wrong."

Luki asked again.

"If I have to say it, it starts with moving things that day." For the sake of his own life, Kroll said: "I was born with greater strength than ordinary people, but when I carried heavy objects that day, I suddenly couldn't do anything. ”

"I thought it might be out of shape, so I rested. However, I was almost rested, and when I went to move again, it still didn't work. I felt weak, very weak. It was like that for the next few days, and in the end, I have a good memory, and usually I can remember things by looking at them two or three times. But now I can't memorize it. ”

In a weak voice, Kroll recounted what was wrong with him.

To sum up, memory declines and physical strength declines.

Kroll was born with extraordinary strength and memory, but at this moment it was all inexplicably declining.

I thought it was a fever, but the symptoms were different from the fever, and it ended up being like this.

So I started to go to the doctor and ask for medicine everywhere, but it never worked, but it got worse every day. It is said that it is a disease of decay, and that those who get it in the bazaar eventually die. ”

At the end, Kroll coughed violently, like a terminally ill patient, and his eyes revealed a bit of despair.

He wasn't the first person in the Pulp Seal Bazaar to suffer from this disease.

"Reach out."

After hearing this, Luch motioned for Klor to reach out.

Kroll did so, holding out her right hand.

Lu Qi stepped forward to take the pulse, and then said, "If I say that your body is normal and healthy, do you believe it?" ”

When Klor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then felt annoyed: "Don't make this kind of joke, if you don't know how to see a doctor, don't waste my time."

"I don't know how to tell you, it's probably a heart disease. Psychologically, I think I can't do it, so I can't do it more and more. ”

Luqi got up, also thinking that Klor's situation was strange.

It was the first time he had met someone with such a heart disease.

His medical skills can naturally confirm that there is nothing wrong with Klor's body at all, but his weakness at the moment is not fake.

It is very likely that it is due to psychological factors.

Eventually, the trio were kicked out of their tents, and Luci was considered a quack doctor who didn't know anything.

Taliyah felt that Luqi was not going to deceive people, so she was puzzled: "Why do you say that he is in good health?" ”

"His pulse, heartbeat, blood flow rate, and skin temperature are all normal."

Lu Qi briefly explained to her: "This is the behavior of normal people. ”

"But why did he become like that again?" Taliyah was puzzled.

"I don't know, let's go around and ask around to see if there are any other intelligence dealers."

Luki wasn't really interested in this, anyway, it was just for Taliyah to inquire about the tribe, and it would be okay to change to another news dealer.

However, after some searching, there was only one news dealer in the vicinity, Klor.

He is a good friend, so he knows a lot of things when he comes and goes.

It can be regarded as a person at the level of monopoly of this piece of news.

It wasn't until it finally got dark that no other news dealers were found.

Taliyah sighed, "Then forget it, I'll inquire later." ”

Since it was already dark, the three of them decided to spend the night at the Marrow Seal Market.

Next.

As the three of them were about to leave, they passed by Klor's tent again, only to hear the sound of crying coming from inside.

The voice was very much like Rosa's, very sad, and there were other people in the tent, whispering comfort.

"Well, let's open a little, for him, maybe liberation."

"No one can get better if they have decay."

"Is this damn disease really that terrible? What exactly is the reason? ”

"I don't know, there was no such disease a few years ago, but the frequency of this disease has suddenly accelerated in the past few months."

"Is it some kind of infectious disease?"

"All in all, Rosa, look a little away."

Hearing the conversation in the tent, Taliyah was still a little stunned.

She didn't expect that Klor, who she had just met yesterday, would leave this world overnight.

What is the condition of this decay?

Why would a healthy person die so miserably?

"Let's go."

Luci glanced at the tent and felt that there was no need to stay in this place for long.

The three of them quickly left the Seal Bazaar and continued their journey in the direction of Acacia.

Taliyah's failure to find news about the tribe this time left Taliyah feeling a little discouraged, and she didn't know when she would be able to see her relatives again.

So along the way, Taliyah's mood was a little sluggish.

She was a very cheerful girl, but suddenly she became less talkative.

Taliyah didn't feel so upset, at least she knew that the tribe had just migrated away, not some raiders or bandits.

I don't know why, but her heart can't be lifted, and her emotions can't be raised.

The more I think about it, the more sad and frustrated I feel.

Gradually, she was also affected by this mood, first of all, daily cultivation.

When she practiced according to the meditation method that Yasuo had taught her, she couldn't concentrate at all, as if she had cut off her connection with the spiritual realm, which made her even more discouraged.

Later, she found that her ability to control her magic seemed to have regressed slightly.

"Taliyah, what's wrong with you?"

During the night, Taliyah, who had found a few excuses to leave temporarily, whispered to herself, forcing herself to cheer herself up, so she raised her hand to call for a rock.

But surprisingly failed, she hadn't encountered this situation in a long time.

It wasn't until I tried again that it worked.

The next series of attempts, but also a series of mistakes, made Taliyah have self-doubt.

She thinks it's the same again?

The magic in her body was out of control again.

But she has obviously found a way to control it, why did it become like this?

As the seeds of self-doubt fell, so did the effects, and for the next two days, Taliyah couldn't call out to the rocks as much as she wanted, no matter how much she tried.

Instead, the number of mistakes became more frequent, and she was almost hit in the head by a stone she had summoned.

Her control over magic grew more and more out of control.

And her abnormal behavior naturally can't escape the eyes of Luci and Morgana, who have noticed Taliyah's anomaly.

"I'm going to take a look around the neighborhood."

As the night rested again, he looked at Taliyah, who had found an excuse to leave again, until her back disappeared, and Luki looked at Morgana.

"Do you feel something?"

"Taliyah may have been entangled as well." Morgana nodded slightly, already seeing the clue.

"The so-called decay seems to be something evil at work."

Lu Qi thought for a moment, his eyes flickering.

When he saw Klor's in the Pulp Seal Bazaar, he sensed something unusual, but he didn't think much of it at the time.

It was only now, when the so-called decay disease, the same thing happened to Taliyah, that he finally felt abnormal.

In the past two days, he has observed that Taliyah's state is very wrong, although she doesn't say anything, it is difficult not to find out.

It is very likely that this decay disease is not a certain disease, but because of some kind of psychological suggestion.

And the one who gave this psychological hint could only be a creature like a demon.

Lu Qi did not perceive the demon's aura before, indicating that the other party is extremely good at hiding, and it is very likely that he is invisibly eyeing Taliyah.

But now, according to the situation, Lu Qi speculates that the demon hiding in the shadows is most likely the suspected demon - Zhangpo.

It was through Ruiz that Luki learned about the Suspicious Demon.

The books he carried with him recorded many secrets and untold stories of the Runeterra.

Among them is the Suspicion Demon, whom Ryze has encountered once.

This demon is very cunning, and he will first use his own ability to give a psychological hint of 'self-doubt' to those who are targeting.

In layman's terms, it's self-doubt, 'I remember I was obviously strong, but why did I pull it so much now?'.

The more self-doubting he has, the more his abilities are weakened, and he is finally absorbed by Zhangpo.

Later, after Ruiz found out Zhangpo's real name, he beat him away, and never met him again.

According to the situation, Lu Qi speculated that the person who was entangled with Taliyah was most likely Zhangpo.

There is a high probability that it is the reason why they went to the Pulp Seal Market a while ago, and Taliyah, who has special abilities, was targeted.
