Chapter 571 Hidden in the eyes (please vote for the big chapter)
He Ao took off the bill card, clipped it back into the book, and then took off the bone ax and wooden box that had been wrapped around his waist since he entered the door.
He glanced at these two things, reached out and held the bone axe, and put the wooden box back into its cloth cover.
At this moment, the cloth cover has become somewhat stretched and the fibers are somewhat deformed.
Just now, He Ao straightened the cloth cover and used it as a rope to tie up the bone ax and wooden box and pin it on the back of his waist.
The wooden box was okay, but the bone ax weighing hundreds of kilograms had stretched the endurance of the cloth cover to the limit.
However, when He Ao bought this cloth cover, it was meant to hold heavy objects, and the one he bought was of good quality, so there was no embarrassing situation of it breaking immediately.
He Ao held the wooden box wrapped in cloth, carried the bone ax, and returned to the study again.
He briefly activated his super memory, looked at the bookcase covered with shadow tentacles, and swung his bone ax across those tentacles.
The sharp ax blade passed between the tentacles without causing any damage to the tentacles.
Those hanging tentacles slowly curled up, 'watching' He Ao.
These tentacles do not exist in a physical form, and physical damage is useless to them.
He Ao thought for a moment, covered the blade of the bone ax with his consciousness, and once again drew the tentacles in front of him.
Those tentacles gathered around and stared at He Ao, who was wielding the bone axe.
They can't seem to understand why Heao wants to do something that is impossible.
But at the same time, those forces that were originally cautiously trying to invade He Ao's mind began to become violent and gradually increased their attacks on He Ao.
Although these powers are intangible and immaterial, they seem to be related to these tentacles.
These tentacles noticed that Heao seemed to be able to see them, and noticed that Heao was trying to attack them.
They increased their invading power unscrupulously, seeming to laugh at He Ao's use of physical methods to attack the illusory ones.
However, their 'mockery' soon stopped, and the ax blade covered with divine consciousness sliced through the illusory tentacles.
Unlike the first time when he passed through easily, this time, He Ao's hand holding the bone ax felt some slight resistance.
The ax blade glowing with a faint transparent light sank into the wriggling tentacles, splitting the illusory shadow.
Sure enough, spiritual consciousness can cause harm to such things.
At the same time, He Ao could feel that his consciousness covering the ax blade was rapidly being consumed.
In a short period of time, the sharp bone ax passed through the tentacle, cutting it in half, and the illusory tentacle fell down and rolled to the ground.
The power that was originally rising rapidly to attack He Ao's sea of consciousness stopped for a moment, as if shocked that He Ao could actually hurt them.
However, immediately afterwards, there was a retaliatory impact like a violent storm.
Rumblings that were several times more powerful suddenly rang in He Ao's ears, and the power of peering into the soul crazily entered He Ao's mind.
Even a C-level person with a weak soul may not be able to stay rational under an attack of this level, but He Ao's expression remained calm and unchanging.
Although these gibberings were powerful, they were still much weaker than the oppressive feeling he felt when he faced the suspected identity of this hidden existence in the mental hospital.
Countless tentacles instantly rose up, wrapping around He Ao's body, wrapping his soul, and began to try to invade his body.
Traces of blood seeped out from He Ao's skin, and the originally white skin began to appear abnormally pink.
A series of chaotic thoughts rushed into He Ao's body and began to try to control his body, pollute his soul, and distort his will.
Amid this powerful impact, He Ao remained motionless, with no change in the expression on his face. He controlled his soul power and carefully touched the shadow tentacle that fell to the ground and was cut off by him.
boom--
The moment his soul power touched the tentacle, a thunderous explosion rose in his mind, and then, several chaotic thoughts rushed into his mind.
"whee"
"Hahaha"
"hehe"
A series of cold ridicules sounded in He Ao's mind, mixed in those chaotic thoughts, seeming to be laughing at He Ao for falling into the trap and seeking death by contacting the severed shadows.
But amidst the ridicule, He Ao looked calm, and even had a slight smile on his face.
Among those chaotic thoughts just now, there was something else mixed in.
A little bit about a certain complex texture.
He guessed correctly.
He looked up and stared at these illusory tentacles extending from the ceiling, wrapping around his soul.
Jace's father hid that knowledge within these tentacles.
It is hidden in these surveillance and spying on his strength.
What is stored in that memory card is actually the most cherished memory of Jess's father, those happy times spent with his family, and so are the last two bills and the hotel order.
That was the life path he laid out for his family.
In Jess's memory, his father was suddenly called away on the day of the accident, and he left home without even eating breakfast.
Jace actually always believed that the explosion was a sudden event. Jace's father did not expect that the mysterious man would suddenly attack him, so he did not make any arrangements, and was ultimately killed in the sudden attack by the mysterious man.
Before Ho Ao saw the two airship tickets and the hotel order, he basically agreed with Jess's judgment.
The clues he had previously only added credible evidence to this unfounded guess and completed the logical chain.
However, this judgment cannot explain why the mysterious man did not obtain the secret knowledge in the end.
And after seeing the airship ticket and order, He Ao's doubts were easily solved. It was not that Jess's father did nothing, nor was he unaware of anything. In this game, he was not completely unable to fight back.
force.
The empty boat ticket is actually easy to explain. As the situation worsened in the later period, it is understandable that Jess's father realized that the mysterious person might take action against him and his family, and arranged for the family to leave Wetland.
But that hotel order is amazing.
Jace's father had booked a ticket for the airboat to leave in three days. Theoretically speaking, all he had to do was wait until three days before leaving. It was not that Jace and the others had no place to live in Wetland.
This room is their home.
This hotel order can only mean one thing. Jess's father has realized that 'home' is no longer safe.
Although Jess's father cannot see these invisible tentacles, he may have noticed the existence of these 'surveillance' forces through some method.
And I also feel the harm this surveillance force has done to my family.
Judging from the character of Jace's mother in Jace's memory, she would never allow her husband to face danger alone, so if Jace's father told her about buying tickets for her and Jace, she would not
willing to leave.
Therefore, after Jace's father bought the ticket, he did not tell his wife immediately, probably because he wanted to spend some time doing ideological work for his wife.
Similarly, Jess's situation was similar. He would not leave his father behind, but Jess's wife Tini was on a business trip in Kaya City at the time, so Jess's father did not buy Tini's ticket.
It's just a pity that on that day, Jess's father did not have the opportunity to do some psychological work for his wife and children.
The explosion interrupted all his plans.
But in theory, even if Jace's father passes away, if the tickets he bought are still there, the staff of the airship company and the hotel will call Jace's mother and Jace.
And these staff did not call, which can only mean one thing, these tickets were 'refunded'.
The person who canceled these tickets was naturally not Jace's father, who had died unexpectedly, but another person. This person did not want Jace and his mother to leave Wetland, nor did he want them to leave home.
Then the identity of this person is very simple. The only person who has this purpose and has the ability and connections to help Jace's father 'cancel' the order is the mysterious person.
Looking back from this incident, this proves that Jace's father's online behavior may have been monitored by a mysterious person. There is a high probability that the bracelet is equipped with a Trojan horse just like Jace.
So when Jess's father purchased the ticket, the mysterious man knew the situation immediately and immediately realized that Jess's father had been aware of the 'surveillance'.
Then he decisively lured Jace's father away and planned an 'attack' on Jace's father.
He had realized that Jace's father was an extremely difficult enemy and would not give him that knowledge no matter what, so he decisively killed Jace's father.
In this way, he might still be able to find the secret knowledge from the information left by Jace's mother or Jace's father.
In this process, the mysterious man actually missed a move.
Jess's father didn't buy the ticket as soon as he found out he was being 'surveilled', but he bought the ticket after making all arrangements and hiding the knowledge.
This resulted in the mysterious man's 'surprise attack' not achieving any effect. Although he solved Jace's father, he did not obtain the key clues.
Jess's father and the mysterious man are opponents sitting at opposite ends of the chessboard. Although Jess's father is far weaker than the mysterious man, he cleverly uses the rules and his own knowledge to create a balance on the chessboard.
Although he made one wrong move and ultimately lost the game, some of the methods he left on the chessboard continued to take effect.
After roughly guessing this, He Ao already had a guess.
Where should I put that knowledge so that it can be preserved without being discovered by a mysterious person?
It's very simple, put what the 'eyes' are looking for in the 'eyes'.
There was an element of gambling involved, but Jess's father probably had his own judgment on the mysterious man's character, so he chose this method.
He Ao didn't know how Jace's father achieved this effect, but it was obvious that he succeeded. Until now, the mysterious man has not discovered that the knowledge is hidden under his nose.
Of course, maybe he had guessed it, but he didn't dare to touch these tentacles from the hidden existence, so he couldn't verify these guesses.
Only those who can truly get their hands on these tentacles can gain the knowledge left behind by Jace's father.
Handling these tentacles not only proves that the visitor is indeed hostile to the tentacles, but also proves that the visitor is very powerful and has the means to attack these illusory powers and resist contamination.
In this way, Jess's father screened out the people he was looking for and handed the key things to the right people.
He had already anticipated that he would die, so he arranged everything after his death.
In fact, even if Heo didn't go to Jace's house to look for clues and directly attacked these tentacles, he could still obtain that knowledge.
But even if Ho knew from the beginning that a direct attack would lead to the knowledge hidden by Jace's father, he would not choose to attack directly.
If he were a passing good guy who drew a sword to help, or an enemy of the mysterious man, there would be no problem in attacking him directly, but now he is Jace.
It is the child of the person who left this knowledge.
Knowing how much effort his father put in for this is equally important to Jace as getting what his father left behind.
The sharp ax cut through the illusory tentacles, and as the tentacles broke apart, twisted thoughts hit He Ao's mind one by one. The incomplete knowledge, with only a little bit of small puzzle pieces left, merged into He Ao's mind.
mind.
He Ao turned around and looked at the dense tentacles surging towards him in the living room.
Judging from the current progress, he must destroy all the tentacles in this room in order to obtain the complete knowledge left by Jace's father.
He still has a little more than four channels of spiritual consciousness left. When he opened this copy, he still had five and a half channels of spiritual consciousness left. In the previous battles and various situations, although he had tried his best not to use his spiritual consciousness, but his spiritual consciousness still remained.
Knowledge is also consumed very quickly.
He didn't know if there would be an opportunity to obtain a large amount of spiritual consciousness in this dungeon like in Limen City. From the current point of view, there was a high probability that there would be no chance.
He will have to face the mysterious man later, and he will also have to face the hidden existence behind the mysterious man. He must keep as much of his spiritual consciousness as possible in the battle behind, and he cannot consume too much of his spiritual consciousness here.
He Ao raised the bone ax and chopped off several entangled tentacles again. As new knowledge poured into his mind, he raised his other hand and stepped back from the cloth covering the long object.
, revealing a wooden box with purple light flowing inside.
This wooden box stores the 'gift' power that the mysterious man has obtained through the magic circle for more than ten years.
These powers are out of control. Once the wooden box is opened, the power inside will flow out directly and destroy everything nearby.
The incoming tentacles seemed to feel the terror of the wooden box. They paused for a moment, bypassed the wooden box, and continued to attack He Ao.
He Ao has actually discovered that the intelligence of these tentacles is not very high, and most of the time they are in a state of twisted instinct.
Judging from He Ao's feelings in the mental hospital, the hidden subjective consciousness should still be in some kind of slumber.
None of its powers possess any obvious intelligence, just like a person acting on instinct in his sleep.
The long wooden box shone with overlapping purple light.
This is the magic circle engraved on the wooden box. This incomplete magic circle maintains the seal of the wooden box, although over time, these purple lines have been partially worn away.
During the operation of the incomplete magic circle, the power in the wooden box has been restless, and the power inside is uncontrollable.
But Ho now has some knowledge to control these powers.
He lowered his head and glanced at the lines on the wooden box, and the newly acquired knowledge flashed rapidly in his mind.
Those tentacles can avoid this wooden box, which means that the power in the wooden box can really cause harm to them.
He Ao swung the ax and cut off the flying tentacles again. As the new secret knowledge entered his mind, he cut his finger with the ax blade and leaned the wooden box against the door of the study.
Bright red blood dripped down the fingertips and onto the wooden box.
He started painting along the incomplete parts of the magic circle.
