Shallow Beach looked at the image of the giant spider that Dean had sketched in black pencil and said regretfully,

"I'm sorry, master, I've never seen such a creature, but from what you described it as disembodied, it was as big as the sky overhead, and it did look like a god in my impression. The reason why the world is so barren may be precisely because it is constantly plundering the vitality of the land. ”

Dean nodded, so the Great Spider was a monster that lay dormant in the ground and weaved cobwebs to rob the world.

"What's the matter with those rift monsters, just from the outside, they have nothing to do with the eight-legged spider, but they obey their orders."

Worker bees obey the queen, at least some of their biological characteristics are the same.

"I can only guess that the Rip Monster is the product of the Spider Monster's transformation with special abilities." The shallow shoal circled around Dean and thought, "In addition, the rift monster is only level 2 combat power, and the big spider is at least level 6, the span is too large, it does not conform to the principle of ecology, I think there are other special monsters between them, occupying level 3, level 4, and level 5 ecological niches from the world." But the big spider felt that these men couldn't take care of you, so he went out himself. ”

Dean bowed his head, so there must still be some monsters in the world that he had never seen before.

He asked again, "By the way, I kind of don't understand who opened the spatial node for the Rift to invade Hawkins and attack Jonathan last night. The big spider doesn't have the ability to open the node, otherwise it would have chased me out earlier. ”

The shoal shook his head to indicate that it was not clear.

Dean and it discussed the houses in Hawkins Town that he saw from the world, why did there be similar buildings in the two worlds?

But there is too little information to draw firm conclusions.

"Wait a minute, I'll sort out the status."

Dean sat on the snow and digested the information in his head, and after a few moments, he activated the mimesis, the skin on his face and the muscles and bones of his body writhed like molten plasticine, and in a matter of seconds, he changed into the appearance of Seth, the basilis.

The shallow beach saw sixteen eyes sparkle on the side, and it had only been following the other party for a week or two, and it had already seen that this master had displayed seven or eight superpowers, and God knows how many surprises were hidden.

But this is a great thing, the stronger the owner, the better it will be to fish and mess around!

Dean didn't bother to bother with the little thing's thoughts, took out a tube of the blood of the rift monster from the void, opened his mouth and swallowed it, and launched the "licking memory".

The fragrance of plants and the smell of blood flow through the throat.

A blurry picture appeared in front of Dean's eyes, the pitch-black underground, the long tunnels, the long dragon of rift monsters transporting stones, the sound of pounding and scratching in the throat...

Digging and digging, digging and digging, as if to dig through the ground...

This is the deepest memory in the blood.

"It's obviously a man-eating monster, but it's like a miner digging rocks all day and night, is it going to dig through the earth completely?"

Dean failed to pick up the information, and turned his gaze to another hint of the mimicry skill - detecting that it could simulate blood, whether to copy and save it.

"It's worthy of a domain-level mimicry ability, and it can actually transform into a humanoid monster like the Rift Monster."

A bold idea flashed through Dean's mind,

"My mimetic form can even cover up the breath of the soul, if I transform into a rift monster, can I hide it from the big spider?"

But Dean didn't dare to return immediately, at least he had to prepare a few self-protection measures first.

Save Mock.

In the three simulated slots, next to the scaly snake demon image, there is an ugly monster image of three meters and five meters tall with a petal mouth.

Dean continued to sort out the harvest and sink his spirit into the panel,

Phantasm Abyss Lv0 (100/100).

Hoist!

lv0→lv1(0/200)

Skill effective range: 10 meters→20 meters.

Ability cooldown: 24 hours→ 12 hours.

Skill upgrades, you gain 0.5 Spirit, 0.5 Will.

Spiritual: 24.8→25.3

Will: 24.5→25.

The spiritual will both broke through 25 points, and the specialty of the automatic awakening - the power of thought.

In the sunlight, Dean's calm face suddenly went into a trance, and a subtle hallucination rose in his heart—his whole body was silently immersed in a warm and nutritious liquid, which penetrated through countless pores and drilled wildly into a certain part of his body.

The things imprisoned in the darkness frantically absorb these essences, grow strong and sublimate in nourishment, turn from the virtual to the real, and break free from the heavy shackles that have existed since the day of birth.

Dean felt as if he was about to leave the world and fly away, he didn't feel the weight of flesh and blood, it became lighter than air, and it swayed above his head.

Bathed in the sun, Dean felt extremely comfortable, and the countless thoughts in his heart ran like a wild horse, he seemed to become omnipotent, nowhere to go, and a joy in the depths of his soul spontaneously arose.

But the illusion disappeared in an instant.

Dean, who was in a state of soul, regained his composure and looked at his left and right hands, not the black mist of ordinary ghosts, but the colorful colors of the aurora.

It turns out that my soul has long been very different from ordinary people.

Dean looked up again, and a narrow gap cracked in the sky not far away, revealing a lush sea of trees, which was the Spirit Thin Prison, calling his soul.

But Dean's super-strong spirit and will easily resisted the attraction.

He looked down again, and the young man with black hair and black eyes was slumped on the snow, and the white snow under his feet reflected his handsome but dull face, like an empty shell.

On both sides of his body, Shadow and Shoal looked up at him in amazement,

"Hey, master, you're out of your body?"

"Well, there's something to be gained from the world." Dean felt this light and unrestrained sense of freedom, and raised his hand towards a pine tree not far away, and the snow fell to the ground, and the pine tree was uprooted by invisible telekinesis and floated into the air.

Circle... Shift...

"It's amazing, the telekinesis I used before was essentially using the telekinesis of 'shadow', and now I have awakened my own telekinesis. It's a pity that it's weaker.,At most, there's a ten-ton power.,It's far less than the 50-ton of the shadow.、No.,The spirit has just been increased by 0.5.,Now the shadow's mental power is 55 tons.,My own mental power is also used to entertain myself.。 ”

Dean terminated the telekinesis test, and shaped the soul body into various strange shapes such as birds, emblems, rift monsters, and spider monsters, and finally turned into a mist that flew through the air, trying to distance itself from the shell.

One kilometer, two kilometers... Five kilometers ...

After flying five kilometers, he felt a strong attraction that made it impossible for him to take another step away from his body.

"So my soul is at most five kilometers away from my body, so is my body free from this kind of restraint after death?"

Dean thought about this and laughed at himself, unless he went crazy and lost his mind, he could not abandon his body and become a "lonely ghost" wandering the real world forever. ”

The next second he returned to his body, opened his eyes and smiled at the shallows and the shadow, and walked towards the forest on the left.

"It's almost noon, it's time to tell Steve and the three of them to leave."

"Master, I'll help you find Jonathan's clues, whether you can move freely and absorb emotions tonight." The shallows interjected in anticipation and anticipation,

"Of course, my words count."

……

A few miles away from the forest in the northern suburbs where Dean was located, in the courtyard of Jonathan's house, five petite figures quietly arrived.

Dustin pushed his bicycle to the door, his fleshy face showed a hint of surprise, and he looked at the girl behind him wearing a hat, black sunglasses, and a mask, and wrapped herself like a doll and asked,

"Jane, what do you mean by bringing us to Will's house?"

"Didn't you ask me to help find someone?" Jane looked around alertly from side to side, "Jonathan is inside." ”

"Jonathan is home?" Will rushed over and opened the door with small steps,

"Jonathan! Where are you? Please don't hide and scare me, I won't grab the radio with you in the future! ”

"Jonathan!"

Dustin and the three of them also followed up to help find someone, but they couldn't find even a ghost, and finally walked out panting.

Will's face turned purple, and the bruises on his neck were abrupt, and he looked at Jane, "He's not in there, why did he lie to us, do you think it's funny?" ”

The black Lucas also fried the pot, his nostrils were as big as a cow, and his fingers poked the girl's chest far away, "We finally got Teacher Owen drunk, helped you disguise yourself from head to toe, and then ran ten kilometers from school to this place, and you just joked on us?" ”

"I'm going to take back my words, I'll never give you a slingshot for this guy who is full of lies, you don't have superpowers at all!"

"Shut up, don't say that!" Dustin glared at Lucas and looked at Jane with a sincere expression, "Aren't we friends?" Friends will tell each other the truth, please tell us where Jonathan really is. ”

Annoyed by the barrage of questions, Jane rushed into the house on her short legs and pointed to one of the walls of Jonathan's bedroom, "Jonathan is in here. ”

"Am I blind?" Lucas turned his head to look at his companion with a puzzled expression, "What else is there here besides an empty wall?" Could it be that Jonathan is hiding inside the wall? ”

"Turn this place upside down to find him!" Jane screamed and stared at the wall, her dark eyes bloodshot and her hands tense at her sides.

An invisible force erupted around her petite body, sweeping all around.

Whew...

The four boys felt a strong wind blowing in their faces, and they couldn't help but close their eyes, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a scene that defied scientific common sense—the tables, chairs, books, radios, and beds in the bedroom were all floating uncontrollably.

Outside the bedroom, all the clutter in the hall began to thump on the floor.

Everything in the whole house is in a state of spiral out of control!

"W-What's going on, superpowers?" Lucas stammered, his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.

"I told you earlier, Jane has superpowers, and it's not just the ability to find people!" Dustin's face turned red and he pushed the three guys, and said with a dance, "It's too strong, this should be the 'mage's hand' in DND, our mage is the real mage, and the others are weak!" ”

"Be quiet, don't affect her!" Mike made a silent gesture and watched the superpower show nervously and fascinated with Will beside him.

But two minutes later.

Puff puff puff!

Everything that hung in the air fell back to the ground.

Jane also took a step back and sat down on the bed, took off her mask, grabbed a tissue next to her and wiped her nosebleed, and looked at her four friends apologetically,

"I'm sorry, I can't open the door to this place, it's too strong."

"Why is it bleeding?" Mike hurriedly stepped forward to care, "Are you hurt?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm just overexerting myself, just take a break, I haven't had a nosebleed in a long time."

"That's good."

"But which door do you want to open?" Dustin gave the pale Will a reassuring look and walked over to Jane, "There is clearly no door in this wall, and besides, what is the inside you are referring to?" ”

Jane pursed her lips, took a photo magazine from the table next to her, pointed to the cover, and said, "This is the house we are in now, turn it upside down." ”

She turned the book to the back and looked at the four boys, "This is the house where Jonathan is hiding." We're on the front and Jonathan is on the back. ”

"Upside down?" The four exchanged a puzzled look, and the black child Lucas looked confused, "Do you understand?" ”

Dustin and Will shook their heads, "I don't understand. ”

Mike suddenly slapped his fist, "Upside down, reversed, do you mean the world upside down?" Because Jonathan is hiding in a world that is upside down from this bedroom, you brought us here and we can't see him! When you open the door, you open the door to an upside-down world! ”

Jane's chick nodded like a peck of rice, her eyes were red and she was about to cry, and finally someone understood what she meant.

"Upside down the world?" Dustin lifted the cap on his head thoughtfully, "Like Shadow Valley?" ”

Will, a veteran DND fan, said, "An evil dimension full of necromancy and shadow magic? ”

Lucas added, "Another world 'underground' in the town of Hawkins where we live? ”

"Yes, it's empty, it's dark, it's dangerous, it's monsters," Jane clenched her fists and tried to explain, "it's so far away from us that I can't even get there, but it's so close, we just need to open a passage and we'll be able to get in and find Jonathan!" ”

"Jane, you're a genius!" Mike suddenly got up, and there was a hint of excitement on the thin frog's face, "So, we have a goal to work towards, and then enter the upside-down world from this bedroom!" ”

"The question is how?" Will tugged at the watermelon head and said uncomfortably, "Even Jane can't do anything, what can we do?" ”

"We don't have superpowers," Dustin grinned slightly, his eyes shining like a scientist, "but we have scientific knowledge, and we have the best physics teachers who might be able to give the answer!" ”

"You're talking about Mr. Clarke, the audio-visual club!"

"That's right! Call him, he usually watches movies at home on weekends! ”

……

Doodle...

"Clara-sensei?"

"Well, Dustin, don't you take a nap?" A gentle male voice came from the microphone,

"When we were playing DND just now, we thought of a difficult problem and wanted to ask you?" Dustin took the microphone and asked, "Do you know anything about Shadow Valley?" ”

"Of course, who of us science and engineering men doesn't know DND? It was a reflection of the material world..."

"Yes, if there really is such a place in the world as the Valley of Shadows, how do we get there, theoretically."

All five children put their ears close to the microphone, and a chuckle came from inside, as if they thought their question was interesting.

"Okay, you guys take out a piece of paper and draw an image of an acrobat standing on a tightrope."

"This tightrope is our dimension, and our dimension has laws, and acrobats can only move forward or backward."

"But if there's a unique flea next to the acrobat, it can walk forward and backward, the same as the acrobat, right?"

The five children looked at the drawings on the paper and nodded,

"Yes."

"So the interesting part is that the fleas can still walk along the side of the wire, and they can walk on the bottom of the wire. And the bottom side is the upside-down world, which is the Valley of Shadows. ”

"But we're not fleas," Mike interjected, "we're acrobats, and we can't walk under a tightrope." ”

"I can't."

"Is there a way to get an acrobat into an upside-down world?" Dustin asked,

"Well, the occult method is to turn the acrobat into a flea and have that 'superpower' that roams the dimension, haha, just kidding. The scientific method is that you have to create a tremendous amount of energy in order to tear through time and space, to break through the tightrope through a passage to the bottom, an entrance, to the Upside-down world. ”

The four boys looked at each other, then at Jane, and they all thought that this entrance was what Jane called "door".

"Where are we going to get enough energy?"

"Have you heard of the collider?"

"Well, you've given us science." The four elementary school students nodded, "A particle accelerator that accelerates opposing particles to nearly the speed of light, collides, and explodes with tremendous energy." ”

"Yes, if you use the collider to bombard a point above the wire with high intensity, there is a very low probability that it will be able to open the passage of this dimension, just like this-"

Clark on the other end of the line folded the paper with the acrobat and the wire in half, and poked a hole with a pencil pop.

The five children had a smile on their faces, and they only felt that success was within reach, "How are we going to make this collider?" ”

"Courage is commendable, all kinds of materials are counted, first of all, prepare at least a billion dollars."

“……”

The Dustin Five deflates like a popped balloon.

"Boys, I repeat, these are all theoretical, only the United States or Sulian have the ability to try to open the passage with a collider in the current world, and as far as I know, a Montauk experiment in New York is secretly being studied."

……

Jane couldn't help but speak, "So what if this passage already exists?" ”

This immature female voice suddenly made Clark on the phone stunned for a moment, when did there be an extra girl in this group of clever ghosts in the DND team?

"Ahem, teacher, this is Lucas's sister Erica." Mike hastened to add.

"Well, smart girl, if the passage already exists, then it will definitely affect gravity, magnetic fields, and the environment we live in, causing power outages, reversal of clock hands, no signal on pagers, etc., and may even swallow us." Clark lamented, "Science is great, but it's not merciful at all, you can even say cruel." ”

"Alright, Mr. Clark, thank you for your answer, see you at school next week."

Dustin hung up the phone and sighed at his companions, "How do we find the collider?" ”

"I'll talk about the collider tomorrow, I have to go back." Jian ten fingers clenched together and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "I made a lot of mistakes, not only did I sneak out but I couldn't help but make a noise on the phone, which violated the iron law of my family, if I was discovered, I would die." ”

……

At the same time, ten kilometers north of Jonathan's house, where Jane and his party were, the Hawkins National Energy Laboratory.

In the center of the iron fence is a building made of reinforced concrete with a height of more than 10 floors.

On the third floor, in a room full of monitors, radios, walkie-talkies, and other complex and sophisticated electronic instruments, several bookish men sat in front of the instruments, carrying equipment like headphones, listening to something seriously and earnestly, and from time to time recording two strokes with a pen.

One of them suddenly got up with an excited face,

"Guys, I feel like I've found number 11!"

As he spoke, he quickly ran out of the office with a data book in hand, and rushed to another room as huge as a football field.
