Perhaps the system is also aggrieved. Why can Yu Xing encounter two beings who override the rules in two copies?
This person may be poisonous.
After Yu Xing finished cursing, he frowned and moved around. He couldn't do anything to the system other than cursing trash.
Black mist rose, and the branches of the ghostly tree seemed to tremble, rushing toward him even faster.
That wall was in vain, and the independent branches were entangled together, forming a large net with no dead ends, trying to surround Yu Xing.
Those fine black lines spread out from the branches, which were difficult to detect in the dim light, but fortunately, Yu was close enough and could still see the lines with the naked eye.
A trace of doubt appeared in Yu Xing’s eyes.
Gui Chenshu reacted a bit to the power of his curse, and he could clearly feel that just now Gui Chenshu was eager to see nourishment for him, but now, it was a kind of tentative joy.
It’s like...seeing the same kind?
It’s incredible that Yu Xing could sense such a clear message from a tree that couldn’t speak.
The black lines on the branches seem to be somewhat similar to his black mist in breath.
The heads were silent again. He took a moment to take a look and saw that the heads had a frightened expression and their mouths opened, staring at him as if they were ghosts.
Yu Xing: “……?”
【If you leave here through the corridor now, you will have a 50% chance of surviving】
Just when he was thinking, a sudden system prompt sounded in his mind.
【The rules of the cage were broken by the rule-level #amp;*? ghost "Ghost Sinking Tree". This is a system oversight and compensation will be provided immediately. Please stay away from Ghost Sinking Tree immediately】
Um?
His attention was focused on the two "immediately" words in the second prompt. It felt like... the system was more anxious than he was.
Also, why is Gui Chenshu’s rule-level prefix followed by garbled characters? It’s the same as the “sacrifice” that still has no name on his persona.
System, if you say that, I won’t feel any pain.
The moment he discovered the problem, the excitement as if he had discovered a secret overshadowed the coldness and pain caused by the power of the curse.
Look, the system is driving him away again. It is obvious that the punishment for killing him in the plot is set by the system itself, and now it is "kindly" providing a way out, as if it is afraid that he will stay here.
Yu Xing thought that the idea that the system had no way to deal with him, so it designed the illusory square room to attract the ghost Chenshu to deal with him, could be overturned. Judging from the system's reaction, it was obvious that the ghost Chenshu was not specially invited by it.
The system is patching the vulnerability.
Because of the black lines that seemed to be related to the black mist, when the branch came closer, Yu Xing just tensed up his muscles, clenched the Tang knife, ready to jump away at any time, but did not move immediately.
Those veined branches approached him two decimeters away and touched the dissipating black mist. Yu Xing once again felt the emotion called joy from it.
Gui Chenshu actually didn’t hurt him again for the time being.
This also fully exposes the purpose of the two prompts given by the system.
Surrounded by black mist, Yu Xing felt that the coldness that had tortured him for many years gradually eased. It was clear that the power of the curse was still entrenched in his body, but he no longer felt so uncomfortable.
Waves of relaxation and strength that he had never felt before filled his body and soul. At this moment, Yu Xing felt that the power of the curse was no longer a constraint, but something he could control, enough to destroy everything he had
The power of things you don’t want to see.
Even the speed of thinking is running faster.
The Ghost Shen Tree still has this function?
The feeling that the power is still there but without any side effects is really great.
Yu Xing’s pupils darkened for a moment, and he was almost occupied by this feeling.
He raised his head and realized that the branches of the ghostly tree had formed a cocoon shape, and were about to wrap him up.
The reduction of pain caused by the power of the curse is also the result of this "cocoon".
There was a moment of hesitation. Before the cocoon was completely closed, Yu Xing dodged and escaped from the cocoon. The pain returned, and he couldn't help but tremble. This time, it was not only because of the coldness in his body, but also the indescribable excitement.
Just now, he figured it out.
Yu Xing chuckled lightly, a low voice coming out of his throat, as if he was mocking.
“Heh, you still don’t believe me when I say you’re a loser.” He said softly, “You’ve been exposed, the system.”
In fact, he has long discovered that the system of absurd deduction is not a cold concept. It seems to have emotions and a way of thinking similar to that of an independent individual.
The system was exposed to him several times, which made him think that the system was targeting him, but in fact, the system was tolerant of him.
It’s just a bit inconsistent.
When Yu Xing thought about this matter in reality, he had already discovered where the sense of disobedience came from.
On the one hand, the system indulges him, but on the other hand, it intentionally restricts him in every way, such as letting Yiqing, the powerful green-shooting ghost, follow him, and another example, hinting at stopping him when he purchases rule-level sacrifices.
It's as if the system "knows" him and is consciously preventing him from coming into contact with certain things, but without any malicious intent.
Yu Xing's thoughts were not specific in the past, but just now, in the dark and cold tomb, under the strange attitude of the unknown terrifying existence "Ghost Chenshu", after the side effects of the curse were inexplicably neutralized, his mind
Suddenly there was clarity, and thoughts poured out as if a floodgate had been opened.
There are many possibilities for the system's attitude towards him, but there is only one that is most consistent with the facts.
That is the black stuff that the actor injected into his body in the laboratory, which contains the power of death and immortality, that is, the power of the curse now surging in his body.
Everything brought about by the power of the curse is at the level of rules at first glance, and even the system cannot interfere with the resurrection it causes. If authority is used to describe this relationship, Yu Xing even feels that the authority of the power of the curse is not under the system.
If we say that the system is still the "fair and equitable" system, it is extremely wary of the power of the curse in his body, so it limits what he may come into contact with in order to weaken the influence of the curse on him.
…
Thinking of this, Yu Xing's eyes flashed, and he realized that things were connected.
The system cannot interfere with his resurrection ability, but on the surface the rule-level sacrifices that the deducer can obtain are all under the control of the system, including his sacrifice [Cage].
His persona is also a product of the system.
This means... Although the sacrifice ability is the result of the fusion of the sacrifice itself and the persona, if the system wants to interfere, it probably can be done without much effort.
So...the sealing ability of the cage, which seals the power of the curse after use, is it really the result of natural fusion?
Is it true that the system couldn't prevent him from coming into contact with the rule-level sacrifices, so he changed his method and curbed the power of the curse in a roundabout way?
Going back to what I thought before, the authority of the power of the curse is no less than that of the system. Therefore, after the system reluctantly finds an excuse to seal the power of the curse, it is not stable. Once it encounters powerful humans and ghosts related to the power of the curse, the power of the curse will
You can break through the system limitations and make a comeback on him.
This is reasonable.
So, he finally had an intuitive impression of the power that the actor put into his body at that time... This was at least the most original rule to compete with the system authority.
The new question comes again, why did the actor give him such a powerful power? What is so special about him? How much such power does the actor himself have?
as well as……
The reason why he was tortured by the power of the curse was not a fixed "side effect", but because his body could not bear such a terrifying power, so he had adverse reactions.
The black lines on the ghost tree can help him resist the pressure exerted by the power of the curse on himself. For the first time, Yu Xing experienced complete power. That feeling is fascinating, but it is also easy to sink and fall into
out of control.
His willpower is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and he will not forget himself because of his greed for power.
But now he is no longer blind to investigating the unknown sacrifices in his body, at least he has a direction.
“It’s so exciting to kill in the plot...” Yu Xing chuckled, “If I had known that giving the task to Carlos would have such benefits, I really wish I could do it more often.”
system:"……"
If the system really has emotions, the system is probably already angry.
"Hey, system, why do I have to stay away from Gui Chenshu so that you can help me suppress the curse? Is there some conspiracy?" Yu Xing asked knowingly, but insisted on making the system angry to death, "If I can't stay away, how are you going to compensate me?
"
As he spoke, the branches of the ghost tree failed to wrap around him and followed him again.
Perhaps the system also felt that Yu Xing was too sharp and could not completely hide it, so it made another noise.
【If you do not suppress it, your probability of being killed will reach 100%.】
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, his face turned pale due to the erosion of the curse. Although he didn't want to pay attention to the system on the surface, he still stepped back.
System is right about one thing. Although Gui Chenshu should have a close relationship with him, his position is not necessarily certain.
Gui Chenshu regarded him as a "same kind" and was happy for this. However, when Gui Chenshu touched him with a tree cocoon, it was hard to say whether he would let go of his "same kind" or absorb him as new nutrients.
No one can understand the thoughts of a tree.
"Forget it, the timing is not good." Yu Xing compromised. He had already received a lot of information, and his current condition was very bad, so there was no need to continue fighting.
This tree is not something he can deal with now. If it were replaced by the kind of curse power that had no side effects, he might still be able to try it.
He glanced at the branch that was around him, then slashed it down with the Tang knife, bringing out a thick darkness.
The branches receded a little, and Yu Xing took the opportunity to face the wall of heads and approach the entrance. He dwarfed and turned around to get in.
The corridor was narrow and constricted, just opposite to how it came out. It became wider and wider as it went back. Yu Xing basically ran through it in the end, because he could sense that an aura belonging to the ghostly branches was chasing behind him.
That square room was sometimes real and sometimes imaginary. It should not exist, but the branches and leaves chased out of it were solid materials. When the branches chased, their sharp tips left deep scratches on the stone wall.
They were chasing the black mist that overflowed from Yu Xing's body. This time, the black mist was so violent that Yu Xing couldn't guide it back into his body even if he wanted to.
"Hurry up, system." Yu Xing experienced the feeling of talking to the system in real time for the first time. His steps were sloppy, his face was pale, and his hands were shaking.
【Fix the vulnerability immediately】
The system did what it said. Yu Xing ran around a corner and felt that the power of the curse was suppressed by another hollow and invisible force and gradually disappeared.
He exhaled a breath of relief, and his foot speed suddenly became much faster.
After turning another corner, Yu Xing saw the square room where he and Carlos were resting just now. At this moment, the power of the curse was completely hidden, and the pain left Yu Xing far away.
Almost at the same time, his perception of Gui Chenshu also disappeared. In other words, as soon as the power of the curse in his body was suppressed, Gui Chenshu lost its target. After all, there were no eyes on the tree.
“San!” Carlos heard the sound of footsteps and popped up from the square room, followed closely by Unica’s face.
It seems that Unica was found by Carlos’s paper figurine during the time when Yu Xing left.
Yu Xing responded, and when he looked back, there was nothing behind him. There was no shadow of the tree branches at all, and even the scratches had disappeared.
…”
Reality and illusion are really difficult to define in the Tomb Palace.
"Where have you been?" Yunika raised her eyebrows. Her beautiful eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit that belonged to a woman, but she was different from Shijiu's heroic spirit. She was more charming.
Yu Xing turned his eyes slightly, and looked at Carlos briefly.
Carlos only felt that after Yu Xing left, the hidden aggression in his eyes became stronger, and his hair and clothes became messier, as if he had gone through a battle.
Presumably, the plot kill has been passed safely.
As expected of San.
Yunika would definitely not be able to understand the plot killing thing. Moreover, Yunika had not been removed from the suspect list, so it was impossible to tell her this. Fortunately, Yunika knew that Carlos would be tight-lipped, so he smiled and said, "Kasu
Ross was tired just now, and I want to explore the way ahead."
"Are you so brave? It's too dangerous in the tomb. It's better not to go alone." Yunika had hidden worry in her eyebrows. "Ash told me the same thing, and then he didn't come back.
"
"Not back?" Yu Xing asked in surprise, "He is a professional mercenary, he shouldn't get lost, let alone Shijiu Carlos, what do you say Shijiu?"
Carlos pointed to the camera he was wearing: "She said that Ash's camera was lost when he was hiding from the janitor, and she couldn't see it."
“…Really?” Yu Xing recalled silently.
Could Ash be such a careless person? He lost his camera and did not ask Shijiu for help in Maili.
Did he die, or was the wheat lost with him, or... did he not want to be exposed to others' surveillance anymore?
Yu Xing suppressed his suspicion: "Then let's do this for now. Carlos will find him. Let's get out of here first."
If you stay too long, you might attract something like a hair ghost again.
Yunica nodded. This historical researcher had a very good psychological quality. Not only did she persist until Carlos found her after Ash disappeared, she was also very calm and had no complaints.
