Chapter 455 Intelligence, Contact, Growth
That's not human.
It was a mountain, a sea, a vast continent and endless cities on it. The huge city is majestic, towering into the clouds. There is no greater and more majestic creation in the world.
Mortals should feel insignificant in front of it.
Everyone should tell you everything they know.
"Yes..." Duan Rui murmured: "I'm talking about the fantasy land. I want to escape from here, escape from the A-level fantasy land, Fengdu."
"What is Fantasyland?"
"It is a strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared a few years ago... At first, it was an independent space that was inaccessible to ordinary people, and only souls could find the entrance and enter. There were many ghosts and ghosts in myths and ghost stories hiding in it. Later... the world After the war, many fantasy lands merged with the real world. Many ghosts and monsters..."
"Soul One? World War?"
"Soulers are the souls of dead people... It is said that as long as the dead can get rid of the sins of their lives, they can become powerful soulers. They are important pillars of the human world. All surviving bases need to be guarded by at least one souler. It can avoid being captured by the tide of ghosts. But after the fusion of fantasy, the probability of the dead becoming souls becomes lower and lower... Many of my friends..."
"What is a world war?"
"...It was a world joint military operation ten years ago. The world government organized an expeditionary force that gathered most of the military forces of various countries to conquer the greatest fantasy land... They failed, and no one came back alive. . The last communication from the World Government is for everyone to gather together and work together to resist the coming long night. This war is also called the Third World War..."
"So, there is another biggest fantasy place. What is that place?"
"...I don't know. No one is allowed to discuss this matter in the base. Maybe the veterans who did not participate in the World War know. But they never said..."
"Tell me about your base."
"I..." Duan Rui's eyes suddenly widened. A strong sense of resistance touched his psychological defense line - the previous contents were common knowledge that everyone in the world knew. But anything about the base. They should never be leaked!
no way! no way! no way!
His vision turned scarlet in the severe pain, and the illusion of the giant city in front of him disappeared without a trace. He saw a series of scarlet readings on the soul armor panel. He saw the remains of the two truly demonic impermanent ghosts melting into liquid and seeping into the body of the strange man in front of him!
It is said that only ghosts can devour ghosts.
It is said that demon king-level ghosts such as the ‘Chakravartin’, who are beyond the level of real demons, can even show intelligence like humans, and may even be able to communicate!
The Lord of the City of Futile Death, the Sixth Yama, the King of Equality—the perception provided by his soul armor told him that the person in front of him had no breathing or heartbeat.
He raised the gun without hesitation and was about to blow his head off!
But he can't.
An invisible force field filled the world, blocking all his actions. Even the Soul Armor, which was supposed to provide demon-level superior combat power equivalent to 500 points of standard energy injection, was gradually overwhelmed and disintegrated into a mass of black lines etched on his skin!
"You hate me." The man looked at Duan Rui. The emotions in his eyes were not ordinary, but they were as agile as ordinary people.
"Why?" he asked.
Duan Rui pursed his lips tightly and turned his head hard - he thought he couldn't do it, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly gain freedom this time.
"It seems that you regard me as one of the ghosts, and this attitude is understandable. But I should not be so offended, even if you did tell me a lot of information."
——Still quibbling! You just possessed me!
"I'm not bewitching you." However, the man seemed to be able to see through all the subtle changes in his heart. "I didn't read your mind. I just asked and expected an answer. But since you don't want to continue the conversation, I won't force you."
He turned his head and looked into the distance. Duan Rui breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that the direction happened to be the direction of the core area of Fengdu, where the demon king-level ghost wheel king was.
I heard that powerful ghosts have a strong sense of territory. Just like there is no room for two tigers in the same mountain. The suspected demon king-level ghost in front of him obviously regards another demon king as a priority target to be conquered.
Can it be exploited?
Or... you should believe in the goodwill shown by the other party, even if the probability is very low. But he doesn't even know the common sense of three battles, but he has the legendary top soul user fighting power, a human soul user equivalent to a demon king... maybe there really is a human soul user?
"That direction is..." He organized his words before speaking.
But was interrupted.
"I don't like the feeling of being taken advantage of. Although asking you directly where you live may not be suitable for the morality of this era." The man held his hand out of thin air, and a huge amount of free energy gathered and poured into it. into Duan Ruina's inactivated soul armor. And the next moment, this World Government period heritage that should have required complex maintenance processes was completely restored in an instant and restored to its original state!
This is something that requires the entire base to spend at least three days and a lot of resources to accomplish. But in the hands of this man, it only takes a moment of casual effort!
He is not a ghost.
Ghosts only know how to kill and destroy. But I never knew anything about creation and repair.
Feelings of regret welled up in my heart. He heard the implication of the man's words, and he subconsciously wanted to stay.
"Wait..." He couldn't finish his words.
"You still have responsibilities to fulfill, so let's just say goodbye. Also, the previous rash inquiry was indeed a bit impolite. As compensation, I will leave this thing to you, and you are free to deal with it how you want."
The man left.
The steps he took were a series of sonic booms. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. Only a steel fork remained in place, and it was obviously a natural weapon formed by the ghost's obsession after his death.
A powerful natural weapon - Duan Rui subconsciously grabbed it.
However, this considerable harvest could not produce any achievements in his heart. On the contrary, he felt lost, as if a crucial opportunity had slipped away from him.
As a soldier, it is right to do your duty to the best of your ability. It’s also right to be vigilant. but……
——I still have my responsibilities to fulfill.
No matter what the truth of all this is. It is an undeniable fact that a new demon king-level combat force has appeared in Fengdu and there is a possibility of conflict with the demon king-level ghost wheel king. As soldiers, as scouts of the base, humans who are qualified to wear the scarce soul armor to perform surveillance missions alone, the top priority is to return to the base immediately and report all the changes here.
He had made up his mind.
He left immediately.
…………………………
"I've become like an adult." Jiang Yu stopped.
He didn't pay attention to the young man's departure direction, because he had already read everything clearly.
He really didn't read the other person's mind. But the brain waves that were instinctively released by mortal beings that were too weak were like holding a big loudspeaker in front of him, announcing everything he wanted to know.
He knew that the base mentioned by the other party was 373 kilometers away from here. It relied on mountains and rivers and the terrain was hidden.
He knew that there were about 30,000 people in the opponent's base, one-tenth of which were capable of combat. And it was already severely damaged by the Chakravartin invasion two years ago.
He knows what Soul Armor is - it is the legacy of the World Government, a mass-produced weapon that purifies ghosts through technological means and then shapes them, and encapsulates the AI interface to tame the chaotic inner will. Its manufacturing principle is the same as that of natural weapons.
He knew that ghosts were made up of energy, sin, and obsession. Natural weapons are the solidified products of deactivated ghosts. The ghosts are divided into several intensities: possessed demons, real demons, and demon kings. And his current combat performance should be equal to that of a demon king-level ghost.
But still hungry.
The body is still very weak and the appetite in the abdomen is still sufficient. Even though this body has no breathing, no heartbeat, and no blood flow. It is not flesh and blood at all, nor does it have the structure of obsession. But my inner appetite for food has never been satisfied.
A little problematic, but not major. Because I can suppress it.
Compared with these unimportant things, your inner mood changes may be more worthy of your attention.
The biggest difference between adults and children is that children always say, ‘Can I? ’, and adults would just say ‘I’m going to do it’. People who have not grown up enough or who do not need to be independent will always subconsciously seek the opinions of others. This may be due to lack of confidence, or it may be due to unwillingness to shoulder too much responsibility.
If you are unwilling to take responsibility, you will naturally not make your own decisions. Naturally, you will subconsciously follow other people's logic and principles. Rather than acting arbitrarily.
Jiang Yu tilted her head.
He knew that as a college student, he would not interrupt others at will, and would always put himself in someone else's shoes sentimentally. You don't want to cause trouble to others. If you make others unhappy because of your actions, you always want to make the other person calm down, so that you feel that you have made up for your mistake.
That is really a distant and harmless self.
And now——
“I use my ideas and moods to weigh everything in front of me, and no longer care about the needs and feelings of those who don’t matter.”
"This shows that I am shouldering a responsibility. I have things that I cherish, and I will fight for them and any obstacle. Even if I am dead now, I will still bear them all."
Jiang Yu pressed his chest - even though his heart was not beating inside him.
"There are still people waiting for me to go back," he said.
Satisfied feedback came from his thoughts, and it was obvious that this was true. And that...those people, I guess, are not that familiar fire.
So he raised his head, and in front of him was Fengdu.
The man named Duan Rui wanted to use him to eliminate the demon king-level ghosts in Fengdu, or at least delay the other party's revenge. He didn't like this small idea, but he didn't mind doing it for tens of thousands of people he had never met. People provide a little protection. Anyway...
He was very hungry, and it was not enough to swallow a few real demon-level ghosts.
