Chapter 139: (two more)
With Wu Shi's shout, the torch that was lit suddenly went out, as if the people in the village did not want to be discovered by the outside world.
Everyone looked at each other, they grew up leaning on the Abbes Mountains, and most of them were strong. Although I may never see foreigners in my life, I have never been afraid.
So I was suddenly rejected, and I didn't know what to do.
Seppo came to the conclusion from the nobleman's point of view: "This village must have escaped the king's eleventh tax, so it will be timid as a mouse. As soon as he saw a nobleman coming outside, he quickly extinguished it. torches."
Angie: "They are as timid as a mouse, and you are as small as an egg. Now is the night when you can't see your fingers, and the location of the torches in the village is so far away from us, how can it be possible to tell the difference Are people nobles or commoners?"
Goblin: Feeling offended.
In any case, the village is obviously not very welcoming to outsiders. Everyone looked at Tang Xiao, waiting for her answer.
Tang Xiao decided: "Don't stay outside, go directly to the village."
Luo Er reminded: "Host, the risks after entering the village are not controllable."
Tang Xiao: "I know."
She really couldn't tell whether it was more risky to enter the village or more dangerous to stay outside. In this case, with her non-chief temperament, the answer that is usually blindly selected is the one with higher difficulty.
—Whether it is dangerous or not, it is absolutely impossible to follow her.
Luo Er: "According to the judgment of the system, the way to maximize the benefits is to leave some people to watch the night outside, and the rest to enter the village. This way, you can get more comprehensive information."
"If you stay under my nose, even if you are in danger, I will be able to bail someone out." Tang Xiao replied lightly.
She doesn't need to say the second half of the sentence - if some of them stay outside, it is really unpredictable for these people to be in danger.
It has never been her style to trade human life for profit.
Luo Er sighed: "Okay, you're the host, you decide."
After being with the host for a long time, it found that it became bold and indecisive at the same time, and it was almost divided. From time to time, he sighed and sighed, which was really heartbreaking.
There is a wooden stake at the entrance of the village, with some rough and unpolished patterns carved on it, like a common word in the village.
There is only one winding road in and out of the village. There are weeds on both sides of the road. There are several scarecrows stuck in the weeds.
The village was still silent.
Wushi was instructed and shouted to a few small houses in the distance: "Is there anyone in the village? We are strangers passing by and want to rest here."
There was no response at the position where the torch was lit before, as if it was really uninhabited, and the light just now was an illusion.
It was only then that everyone realized that there was no bird or insect chirping, and the surroundings were dead silent. Only Wu Shi's cry echoed in the air.
Seeing this strange scene, everyone felt a little guilty. Especially the pampered Saibo, he was the first to admit it: "I feel that this village is very strange, otherwise we should leave here as soon as possible and continue our journey to the capital? Anyway, if you don't sleep all night, you won't die."
"You can't leave this neighborhood before dawn."
A clear young voice suddenly sounded out of thin air.
Seppo was so frightened that he almost jumped up and looked left and right: "Who, who is talking?"
Tang Xiao spread out his palm and raised the puppet in his palm: "It's talking."
The Earth Doll shook his head, his voice disgusting: "If you want to go to the capital, this is the only way to go. Unless you pass this level, you will surely die."
Saibo was still in shock: "But when I came out of the capital, I passed by a gust of wind."
Idol Egg: "You humans have a saying: It's easy to wash your hands when you die. That's probably what you're saying."
This sentence was taught to him by Tang Xiao.
An Ji was also dubious. She followed Saibo back to the capital in the last life, and she never met this village. I haven't returned to the capital well, how can the prediction of the idiot be so exaggerated.
The doll seemed to have heard her inner thoughts and sneered: "So you all died in the end."
Angie was startled, and a cold sweat broke out behind her back: "It was talking to me just now?"
Goblin: "Yes, but given your IQ, there may not be a next conversation, so cherish it."
Angie: “…”
The puppet is as poisonous as the cheap sister, it is really a group of people!
But...what does it mean "to die in the end"? Could it be her previous life?
This puppet egg can actually tell that she is a reborn person? !
An Ji quickly classified the danger level of the puppet egg to a level second only to Tang Xiao, and cautiously stopped talking.
Rusa didn't know what to do, but he was very respectful to the doll: "May I ask Mr. Egg, can you make more predictions for the current difficulties? What is dormant in this village? In such a danger, can we reach the capital safely on this trip?"
The doll tilted his head and ignored him.
Rusa still doesn't give up: "Master Egg..."
Greeder never tire of trouble: "You are a dead person, don't worry about these problems."
Rusa: "…"
Angie: "???"
Black Stone: "???"
Everyone: "???"
Wait? What did they just hear?
The people next to Lusa immediately took a step back at the same time, raised their spears and looked at Lusa vigilantly: This Lusa is a dead person, where is the real Lusa?
Lusa's expression cracked, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly: "You guys seem to have misunderstood something, I am really Lusa, not a demon disguise... Don't attack me!"
Then why did I just say that Lusa is a dead person?
Turn around to look again, Tang Xiao has already placed the doll egg there, and yawned: "It's too late, hurry up and set up a tent to sleep."
Even if they are full of doubts, they can only stop. According to custom, set up tents by fire, and keep vigils in shifts.
It was enough to keep them awake at night.
Even Tang Xiao was different from usual.
Before going to bed, Tang Xiao called everyone together, and each handed out a small square yellow paper packet.
Everyone has only heard of parchment paper, but has never seen this kind of paper: soft, smooth to the touch, with incomprehensible red drawings on it.
“Everyone cut their fingers and smeared blood on the paper bag. Then hang the paper bag around the neck close to the chest, and no one is allowed to take it off.”
According to Tang Xiao's request, someone asked humbly, "Can this thing be eaten?"
Tang Xiao: "If you want to die, you can give it a try."
“…”
Never mind.
Afterwards, Tang Xiao talked about the role of the paper bag: as long as you wear the paper bag with you, no matter where you are within three days, everyone can feel it for the first time. If someone is disguised by a demon, they will also be discovered.
In simple terms, this is equivalent to an identity authentication plus a locator, and a free exorcism effect.
Tang Xiao did not let them go to sleep until everyone brought paper bags.
Back in the tent, Tang Xiao did not directly meditate to temper his spiritual power, but gently touched his forehead.
A thin layer of cold sweat on the fingertips.
"Host, you are very nervous now."
Tang Xiao shook his head, "It's not that I want to be nervous, but that my spiritual sense perceives danger more clearly than me."
The darker the night, the more pressure and sense of danger suddenly increased every second, layer upon layer on her body, breeding irritability and anxiety.
On the contrary, when the crowd was just gathered, Saibo, Barlow Red Nose and other young people didn't feel anything, they just wanted to eat and sleep.
Wushi was a little anxious, but she could stabilize her mood and offered to keep a vigil.
Rusa and Angie are more nervous than the others, but it is only the difference between sand and stones - everyone thinks this is an ordinary danger, even less dangerous than the previous nine Leg spiders, etc., are not too worried.
Tang Xiao took these performances in his eyes.
However, not all dangers are exposed without reservation. Just like hunting in nature, when the hunter is strong enough, it can not only hide the breath, but even shield the senses of the prey.
—In extremely dangerous environments, the stronger the person, the more obvious the induction and the more intense the reaction.
"The danger this time...what is it?"
Tang Xiao found a bunch of floating lanterns from the props and let it float outside the tent to light up the sight of the night watchman.
The doll egg turned over in the makeshift "egg nest", and the boy's voice did not waver: "I'm sorry, something is blocking me. I can't feel this time. What is the danger. Maybe even I will die here this time."
Luo Er: "Little Egg, are you not afraid of death?"
Puppet Egg: "Data is not dead, life and death are just a process of gathering and dispersing. Both are data, you should know this."
Luo Er: "When data has intelligent life, its definition of death will change. You are still too young."
Goblin is noncommittal. It knows that it is young, but it does not think it will change its opinion.
The night gets darker.
Tang Xiao crossed his knees and faced the exit of the tent. Outside, he could vaguely hear the chatter of Wu Shi and the others vigilant, but she was not sleepy.
A few hours passed without any monsters ambushing or attacking. Wherever the spiritual power goes, the village is silent.
At this moment, Tang Xiao's mental power is distributed in the houses that make the young people puzzled, and he can clearly "see" the extinguished torches and the closed wooden doors in the courtyard.
I found that there was no danger inside, so my mental force drove straight in and saw the scene inside:
In a different, but equally narrow room, there were several thin women curled up in the corners. They are either holding a sleeping child or alone. They all looked outside the invisible house with wide eyes, their pupils were full of fear and fear.
They have long heard Wu Shi's voice, and they are praying that people outside will never find them.
These women are ordinary people, and the displays inside the house are traces of life - they have lived here for a long time.
What makes them so scared?
Where are the father and other relatives of the child?
Tang Xiao did not find the answer in this quiet and desolate village until he recovered his mental power.
But she has an urge... If you don't make any changes, it will be too late after this night.
"Is there such an attack, which does not appear on the material level or is reflected in the energy level, and the person being attacked cannot detect it either mentally or physically. But once the attack takes effect, it can never be erased. ?"
Luo Er: "…"
Is the host too stressed and driven crazy?
Although it contains sympathy, Luo Er still denied the host's magical conjecture: "Host, your idea is seriously anti-scientific, and it is easy to go crazy!"
Tang Xiao: "All unexplored fields are merged into science. This is not the basis for the existence of the alliance field. For example, the doomsday that spreads throughout the world - the alliance has also not found the reason until now. Is not it?"
Luo Er still shook his head: "If time, space, matter and energy are converted into pure data, if a piece of data has no 1, no 0, or even any form that can be traced, then it will be It will not play a role in any procedure and we will rate this data as non-existent."
"What if this data had an effect, but you didn't notice it?"
Tang Xiao suddenly raised his head: "Before I was pulled into the dog game, the alliance field already existed, but with my ability at the time, I couldn't understand you from any method and angle. What if it was the same now? In fact, the attack may have already landed on us, but I can't detect it."
Luo Er was also a little stunned: "Although it makes sense... but the host's spiritual power is already one of the purest states of energy, as long as the thing that attacks you is still within the scope of energy, it will It is impossible not to be noticed, even if the main system comes, it is impossible to do so.”
"Unless..."
"Unless 'it' does not belong to matter and energy."
The puppet opened her mouth lightly.
Its voice is a little more mature than it was a few hours ago, and it is already in the middle stage of teenagers and youth.
"Your host is right, we are being attacked."
Goblin doesn't like to reason, it likes to list facts.
"There are only two factors that can make me grow. One is the pure essence of life, such as the nectar of Dendrobium. The other is the danger I am encountering."
"The more I get to the later stage, the slower my growth rate. However, from the night until now, I have grown directly to the original one month's progress. There is only one reason, that is, I am not fatal all the time Under the attacking state, this can promote my growth, but not be discovered by me."
Tang Xiao took a breath. She got up and pulled out the machete.
The owner of this knife, she still remembers, was a player named Hu Xiuying in the first Doomsday dungeon. However, in the alliance field, she did not see the figure of this player.
The machete is just the most initial equipment, an ordinary poisoned machete. But Tang Xiao has always used it as a weapon... I just want to remind myself that I must not forget the original intention.
Leave the alliance domain, leave this game called [Infinite Doomsday], no longer control and limit.
The Earth Doll watched Tang Xiao get up and leave, and suddenly said: "It is so coincidental that about such an existence that can attack others, but is neither energy matter nor time and space, my There was a record in the database."
Tang Xiao turned his head slightly, "Is there a record in the database of the Convention?"
Doll Egg did not deny it, but said quietly: "Its name is called a meme."
Luo Er disagrees: "Memes are just a phenomenon in human culture, and can't represent what you say..."
The Doll Egg interrupted Luo Er: "For this word, Daqian Universe has different definitions. If in doubt, welcome to our cruel world."
Luo Er: "…"
Tang Xiao frowned: "Don't talk about it, solve tonight's problem first."
As soon as I heard this sound, I knew that Tang Xiao was going to make a real move, and at the same time, it went into a silent state and waited silently for Tang Xiao to act.
Memes…?
Tang Xiao lowered his eyes, raised them again, and opened the tent door.
Outside the tent, darkness enveloped the dome. Wu Shi and the two youths were on vigil, and when they saw Tang Xiao walking out, they immediately stood up in surprise.
"Go back to the tent, you can't come out without me."
"Yes, Angel."
Behind the three, Tang Xiao took out the knife and twisted it with his fingertips: "If now, I will make a definition. My energy will interfere with your attack, when I release the energy, this Will the definition take effect?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she inserted the machete into the ground with her backhand, and the spiritual power surged out, spreading to the ground along the handle of the knife, spreading rapidly outward in an explosive manner.
There was a strong wind in the air, all the withered grass and trees were shaking wildly in the strong wind, and even the soil on the surface was blown down—
Only the tent accommodating An Ji and others stood still in the strong wind.
"This layer is spiritual power, and then..."
"The Power of Thunder!"
The silver electric light smashed through the air, and the thunder slammed on the top of the tent with great force, making a deafening sound.
If it is normal, even if everyone sleeps to death, they will wake up and run out. But at this time, the tents were still silent, and even Wu Shi, who had just entered the tent, went into the sea and did not respond.
The more abnormal it is, the more likely it is working.
"Then finally..."
"Karma."
The shadow of the tent shook twice during the fire!
