Chapter 38 The Importance of Thinking (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)

When entering the mausoleum of the "Black Emperor", Bernadette vaguely "saw" a black shadow, but after she broke away from the state of information torrent and reorganized her body with a huge amount of pure knowledge, she did not perceive anything, as if what she had just experienced was just an illusion.

The "mysterious queen" did not rush into the mausoleum, but stayed where she was, cautiously taking a look at the surrounding situation.

There is no need to use the ability of "voyeurism", everything here is clearly presented in front of her eyes:

The interior of the "Black Emperor" mausoleum was empty, with nothing but the dark walls and the central platform.

On the high platform, a chair for a giant resembles an iron chair, with intricate and twisted patterns engraved on the surface, and the top of the backrest extends upwards in the shape of a crown.

At this time, there was no figure on this heavy and huge seat, as if waiting for its emperor to return.

Bernadette was about to take a tentative step closer to the high platform, when she suddenly found that her body was completely immobile, as if she was firmly bound in place by an invisible shackle.

Immediately afterward, a pair of illusory and sacred white wings naturally spread out behind her, as if she was passively fighting against something.

In the next second, on the pair of angel wings, the white feathers fell one after another, and deformed, thin, and hairy limbs grew in mid-air, and the gaps created by the cascading feathers opened one after another, as if they had become countless eyes.

The distorted feathers then let out a crisp laugh, causing the sound of "clucking" to echo inside the mausoleum.

They all came to life and became miniature "feathered people".

This reminded Bernadette of some fairy tales her father had told, where elves no bigger than their thumbs would appear.

In a flash of thought, Bernadette felt an itch in her right eye.

The eyelashes of that eye grew rapidly, turning into tiny arms that propped up to her face, trying to pull them out.

"I see, I see!" said Bernadette, whose right eye was a protruding vein, and she made a childish and light voice of her own, as if she had gained her own intellect and consciousness.

This is also a kind of "new life".

Almost at the same time, Bernadette's left ear jerked down, covering the ear canal.

"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!" the ear shouted in a slightly sharper voice.

If she didn't use her spirit to perceive it, Bernadette would definitely think that there was a little girl next to her, covering her ears and stomping her feet and screaming.

Without giving her any room for buffering, the "Sage Forehead Ornament" in the center of her forehead voluntarily detached from her body and floated into the air.

The surface of the vertical eyes inlaid with these "diamonds" flashed countless cold lights in an instant, as if one after another miniature eyes had grown.

And in each eye, Bernadette's figure is reflected.

The "Sage's Forehead Ornament" also acquired a certain living characteristic.

Just as the "0" level seal was about to awaken and have some effect on the target, a pale slender illusory palm reached over and grasped it.

The living nature of the "Sage's Forehead Ornament" quickly dissipated, as if it had entered the end of life.

The cold, pale palm that was clearly feminine came from behind Bernadette, where a figure with only the upper body appeared.

The figure grows from Bernadette's back, and the whole is almost transparent, rather unreal.

"She" wears the same clothes as Bernadette, wears the same feather tricorne, and her eyes are blue like the projection of the sea, as if she is Bernadette herself, the part of her spirit that has emerged from her body.

However, Bernadette's half-figured face wears a pale mask with a shimmering metallic sheen.

The mask only has holes in the eyes, and there are no gaps in the rest of the place, making Bernadette's phantom look extremely cold and noble, but lacking the breath of the living.

This is the third and final "0" level seal in her possession, an item made by Russell the Great after returning from the Southern Continent in his later years, called "Pale Death".

Its negative effect is to make the wearer die little by little, until they become corpses and become its slaves.

At this time, Bernadette took advantage of this to inhibit the abnormal activation of the body.

It was when this half-body shadow appeared, her right eye quieted down, and the eyelashes that had become thicker and longer into arms withered and fell off one by one.

Her ears also stopped making sounds, slowly opened, and returned to normal.

Without such suppression, Bernadette's facial features, arms, and legs would have broken with her one after another and defected to "freedom".

After initially stabilizing her body, Bernadette tentatively took a step forward, but was still unable to make any movements, only to drive the half-body spirit.

After thinking about it, she had the spirit behind her take a ceremonial silver dagger out of her coat pocket, leaned down, and made a circular motion in the middle of her boot on her right.

With the sound of stabbing, the boot was half shortened.

Immediately afterward, Bernadette used the half-body to shred the pants at the left knee, cut off the corners of her coat and shirt, and plucked out a few feathers on one side of her tricorne.

Such an attempt seems to have nothing to do with transcendence, like a willful and rebellious girl who wants to dress up differently from the normal aesthetic.

However, as Bernadette completed this series of movements and walked forward cautiously, her body was really able to move, and she no longer felt like she was restrained in place.

The invisible suppression disappeared at once, and the mausoleum of the "Black Emperor" seemed to accept such a Bernardette.

Who would have thought that the means of dealing with such an anomaly could be done by ordinary people.

Moreover, Bernadette suspects that the more she fights with extraordinary abilities, the more she will be affected.

This is because she just had a feeling that she was facing an invisible god, and only by "pleasing the other party's aesthetics" could she be forgiven, otherwise she could only rely on the authority of the Sequence 0 level to bypass.

In addition, fortunately, Bernadette was not only once a knowledgeable "occultist", but also had a fairly in-depth knowledge of the "Black Emperor" pathway, knowing roughly what the authority in this realm entailed, and understanding that it represented a shadow of order, a distortion of normal order.

So Bernadette started with her own clothes, initially distorted the normal order of her body, and then she was recognized and accepted by the invisible god.

"Well, in occult events, knowledge and ideas are sometimes more useful than abilities...... In that case, any rebellion would be seen as a provocation to the internal order of the mausoleum, which would trigger unpredictable and absolutely terrifying changes, and once the crux of the problem was found, the negative impact could simply be resolved...... "Crane on the gray mist bowed his head lightly, learning a lot from the "mysterious queen".

Although he is already one sequence higher than the other party, he is even equal to the king of angels in the "Source Castle", and has experienced a lot of major events, but after all, he has grown too fast, and he is still lacking in many details, and now he can make up for it through this observation.

After taking a step, Bernadette began to follow her spiritual instincts, walking towards the high platform in the center, towards the huge seat on which there was no one to occupy.

One step, two steps, three steps, and suddenly, a breeze blew through the back of her neck.

The wind was eerie and cold, making Bernadette's body tingle for a while.

At this moment, she seemed to feel a dark shadow appear behind her.

Silently, on the back of her head, the long maroon hair parted on its own, revealing a pair of eyes that grew on her scalp.

It was a near-transparent, cold, unforgiving eyelash-free eye.

"Voyeur Eye"!

The eyes turned slightly, and they saw that the shadowy curtain of the mysterious world was visibly distorted inside the mausoleum.

However, it did not find the dark shadow, nor did it find the source of the cold wind just now.

Just as Bernadette tried to close her "peeping eyes" and reduce the possibility of accidents, the eerie and icy breeze suddenly blew in her mind.

Her thoughts became active and uncontrollable, moving in a direction where she could not think.

It seems to be a trend, irreversible, fast-moving chaotic trend.

Without hesitation, seizing the few seconds she could still think, Bernadette let the halfling behind her remove the pale mask.

She then placed the "Pale Death" mask directly on her face, and the halfling retracted into her body, becoming one with her.

From this second on, Bernadette's thoughts will gradually die with her body, but her thoughts are uncontrollably active, and little by little they become chaotic.

These two contradictory states cancel each other out, creating a fragile and delicate balance that helps Bernadette regain her ability to think.

For Bernadette, its negative effects are more useful in this moment than the extraordinary effects of the "pale death" itself.

Maintaining that balance, Bernadette took a few more steps forward.

During this process, she always felt that there was a black shadow hovering around her, but she couldn't find it.

After pondering for a few seconds, Bernadette's azure eyes once again became deep and lost focus.

She was trying to predict the consequences of one of her choices.

Soon, a corresponding picture appeared in front of her eyes:

Putting on the "Sage's Forehead" again, she once again transformed into a pure and complex flood of information, so as to bypass the obstacle and go to the high platform in the center.

However, as soon as they got there, the flood of information suddenly disintegrated, lost its order, and reorganized into several Bernadettes based on different cores, including little girls in cake dresses, tall girls, girls full of melancholy and incomprehension, ladies with distorted and painful expressions, and resolute queens who became calm.

The prophetic image was fleeting, and Bernadette's eyes suddenly regained focus.

At this moment, she saw the dark shadow.

It stood right in front of her, no more than a fist away from her!

The face of pure shadow completely dominated her field of vision.
