This is what Zhen Cheng saw when he rushed into the double-story circular room, which had an almost identical structure to Thetis' underground central research hall.
They came in from the entrance on the second floor and faced a huge instrument that ran through the two floors. Directly in front of them, there was a spherical transparent glass vessel, and the place where the liquid should have been filled had long dried up.
Of course, there is not a pitch-black regular octahedron object inside.
Cai Pixiu and the other three were standing in the middle of the first floor. When Zhen Cheng came in, he happened to see a drop of paint falling from the sky towards the three people in the center of the hall, and he didn't even have time to say a word to remind them.
And at that critical moment, Cai Pixiu seemed to have received a reminder and without raising her head, she pushed away the new candidate who was supposed to have paint dripping on her head, and what happened just now happened.
The candidate narrowly escaped death, but it looked like all the bones in his body were broken, and he didn't know how long he could last. What's worse is that the paint that would have dripped on the guy's head fell on Cai Pixiu's arm.
.
Although the little girl is vicious and sinister without a bottom line, once the contract is established, she will really risk her own life to protect the newcomers.
No one knows what will become of the soul of a person who dies under the shadow. Maybe selling his soul is not the worst choice for this newcomer?
Zhen Cheng's eyes widened, and Ai Luogensi's pupils shrank. Downstairs, Cai Pixiu's arm, starting from the back of the hand that touched the paint, melted and dripped inch by inch like a burned out candle.
A second later, the clothes inlaid with gold and silver on the wrists also began to dissolve, turning into a large ball of yellow and white paint.
Cai Pixiu is not an arcane mage in the traditional sense. The teleportation circle she learned from Qu Yun is closer to the devil's racial talent.
But the gorgeous sleeve robe on her body is by no means simply woven with real gold and silver. Considering this guy's financial resources, if this gorgeous coat on her body is put up for auction, it can at least replace a civilized planet.
Zhen Cheng once tried to take a look at Cai Pixiu's clothes using the skills of observing arcane magic across dimensions. Then she experienced the feeling of looking directly at the shadow while people around her always had headaches, but she had never felt it before.
In a word, it's dazzling.
But such a secret treasure is as vulnerable to the enemy as butter under a hot knife.
Three seconds later, the melt had reached Cai Pixiu's elbow joint. Her entire forearm was falling off in chunks like rotten sludge.
If left untreated, her whole body would soon melt away like the previous candidate who was hit by paint.
Of course, Cai Pixiu would not sit still and wait for death. She bared her little tiger teeth, grinned fiercely, and quickly sketched the left arm and shoulder with her right hand.
Fortunately, although the effect of [Perverse Color Blindness] is extremely weird and frightening, it does not cause any pain and is not enough to stop the little loli's normal movement speed.
Five seconds later, the melted part was close to the shoulder. Cai Pixiu's face was covered with beads of sweat. At the critical moment, a mysterious circular magic circle formed out of thin air, and his arm was severed in two from the shoulder blade.
A large amount of blood spurted out. This was not a weird and mysterious spell such as twisting or grafting, but a real severing of space that connected it to other places. The principle was similar to cutting it off with a knife.
Cai Pixiu bared his teeth, reached into the magic circle with his right hand, took out a bottle of spray that was unmarked and as gorgeous as a crystal perfume bottle, and sprayed it on the fractured area, immediately stopping the bleeding and pain.
The next second, the pain on her face turned into shock and panic.
When she wanted to put the spray in her hand back into the teleportation circle, she suddenly threw the delicate bottle to the ground.
She discovered that the damn paradox was twisting and transforming her teleportation circle!
"Back off!"
Hearing the roar of Ai Luogensi, Cai Pixiu quickly kicked off the ground and flew to the wall, directly destroying a lot of experimental equipment along the way.
Almost at the same time, a large lump of paint, weighing at least half a ton, fell on the spot where she had been standing.
Cai Pixiu raised his eyes and looked away for just a moment.
She felt dizzy from the distance, nauseated, and even her consciousness became blurred.
This is the reaction of looking directly at the paradox.
Upstairs, Ai Luogensi endured the physical discomfort and raised her gun to aim at the squirming thing downstairs. In her dictionary, there was never an option to retreat for self-protection. After understanding the medical level of Blood Candle Castle,
, this guy’s level of seeking death has reached a new high.
She has been enduring increasingly violent reactions, but the trigger has not been pulled yet. Ai Luogensi is hesitating, she is afraid that the strong impact will directly explode the thing and splash to the senior sister downstairs.
There was even paint splashing directly on my side.
In her vision, which was gradually blurring out of control due to pain, the gray-green paint stood up.
Yes, he just stood, standing on his feet with the outline of his limbs exposed like a human being. Large clumps of paint dripped from the arms hanging in front of him to the ground, and then squirmed and gathered at his feet as if they were alive again.
Under the paint, Ai Luogensi even thought she saw naked human skin. But the rickety posture was too weird for her to judge accurately.
"This is... the true form of Paradox?" She whispered softly.
Qu Yun said it in the first archeology class they attended. Paradox can destroy any common sense principle, but it has an objective ontology.
Elogans has seen similar things with her own eyes, such as the [primary image] on the original stone wall in the archaeological camp in central North America.
It seems that the sky-wide colors that will fall from the sky to destroy the world are a bit bizarre compared to a specific carving on the stone wall. But in fact, the mural is just the body of the [original image], which is analogous to the existence of the paint monster here.
And the darkness that swept the whole world, and even exceeded the limit to cover most of the galaxy in an instant, and the strange force that pulled the earth out of orbit are the manifestations of the [original image], juxtaposed with the world-destroying colors that fall from the sky with the [perverse color blindness] here.
.
The body of the Paradox may not be destroyed by normal means. The rock wall that was completely blown up in the previous battle failed to stop the explosion of [Primary Image], which illustrates a certain problem.
But if you want to eliminate the influence of a paradox, finding ways to interfere, control, or destroy its body is the only way.
It’s just that each paradox only follows its own rules, and these rules transcend all common sense theorems and laws. In fact, in the long history of the universe, almost no civilization has found the only way to crack them before the destruction of the paradox.
Law.
Similar achievements can only be made in Blood Candle Castle, where one can study a certain paradox for a long time in a controlled environment, or in the Lamarck game, where someone can crack or even eliminate the paradox when the system gives clear prompts.
