Chapter 866: Coordinated performance (two more updates for leader Rutruin)
"The self-test is completed, all systems are normal, and the lander is ready to break away."
Following the sound coming from the communication channel, the four people who had already fixed themselves on the chairs took a deep breath and looked sideways out of the porthole.
At this moment, in their field of vision, the starry sky outside the window was filled with twisted blood red.
This is of course not because the entire universe has turned red, but because they have approached the transparent planet.
Now, all the starlight passing through this transparent planet has also been changed in color.
This also means that the power that this planet can exude may have exceeded what they had previously estimated.
"Are we also within the scope of the bloody sun?"
Ji An looked at the bloody starlight outside the porthole window, glanced at the unpacked mobile phone and fixed it on the chair next to him, and said with a smile, "Will they call us later so that we can look directly behind this transparent planet?"
What on earth is it?”
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult,"
Li Cheng turned around and shook his head, "According to the information sent by Ruo Dan before we boarded the spacecraft, all the people who received the call were not stronger than 'E level', and most of them were ordinary people. Obviously, the other party
There is a high probability of ‘screening’ in ‘kidding people’.”
"Specially looking for someone to bully,"
Jie An shook his head, "A guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
"I'm afraid there is also a reason to deliberately avoid finding a powerful extraordinary person to cause 'accidents'."
Li Cheng nodded thoughtfully.
Listening to the discussion between the two, He Ao looked at the red stars outside the window.
This time the enemy is obviously stronger than before, but more cautious.
boom--
As he spoke, the entire cockpit moved.
This is the sound of the lander separating.
Everyone's eyes looked out the porthole again.
Although they couldn't see the huge planet with a theoretical diameter of a thousand kilometers outside the window, looking at the moving light, everyone knew that they might be getting closer to the invisible planet.
The lander comes with some small power devices that can complete some small orbit changes. When the transparent planet does not show gravity, these power devices will send the lander to the space near the "surface" of the transparent planet.
If it is determined that it can land, it will land. If it cannot land, it will push the lander back to orbit according to the planned route.
The music played by Goya had long been turned off, and the narrow cabin was completely silent, just like the silence of the universe outside the window was reflected in this narrow space.
The communicator connection remained stable. Although there was a small amount of interference, it was not significant. It seemed that the recovery of the transparent planet was a little slower than expected. The expected electromagnetic storm did not appear, and the whole world was surprisingly quiet.
"It seems we are going well this time."
Jie An looked at everything outside the window and sighed.
"hope so."
Li Cheng stared out the window beside him and spoke slowly.
But He Ao didn't speak, he just looked at the red light outside the window quietly.
The doll in the coffin arrived at the starry sky before everyone else.
But at this moment, the puppet has not found a way to enter the transparent planet.
Perhaps, we need to get closer.

in the castle
He Ao himself glanced at the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the positions of the three people are roughly forming a triangle around the cylindrical platform. He Ao is closest to the platform, Como is the farthest away, and Kavina is directly opposite He Ao, completely in He Ao's field of vision.
The green light from the lantern enveloped the three people, creating a hemispherical area of glow, and beyond the light of the lantern, there was completely invisible darkness.
He Ao's eyes returned to the front. At this moment, his hand was very close to the rotating statue on the platform.
There was a vague feeling of distortion coming from the statue.
"What department,"
Kaweina watched He Ao's hand hovering in front of the statue and whispered, "Be careful, this statue may not be that safe."
"But this is the only solution to quickly solve this problem. As long as it is an extraordinary item, it should be possible to control it."
He Ao sighed, finally lowered his finger and touched the statue.
And almost the moment his fingers touched the statue, twisted and violent pollution burst out instantly.
Countless twisted fantasies filled He Ao's mind and his thoughts in a matter of breaths.
His skin began to turn bright red, and blood overflowed from his eyes.
"Hebe!"
"Mr. Ho!"
Kavina and Como saw this scene and rushed forward immediately.
Kaweina was stronger and faster, and arrived in front of He Ao almost instantly.
Then she immediately turned her head and looked at the statue. Holding the lantern in one hand, she reached out with the other hand and touched Xiang He'ao's wrist, as if she wanted to 'pluck' He'ao's hand from the spreading statue.
She leaned next to He Ao, with her back to Como, and the corners of her mouth that were slightly panicked slowly raised upwards.
She glanced at He Ao's dull and absent-minded face, and spoke slowly in a voice as thin as a mosquito's moan that only two people could hear, "Your angel-level items belong to me."
boom--
At this moment, the skins of the two people touched each other.
Looking at the hand that was supposed to be touching the statue, he turned it over and grabbed his wrist.
The smile on Kavina's lips froze on her face.
She immediately wanted to escape sideways, but her entire body was restrained in that moment.
But He Ao, who had a dull look on his face, turned around calmly, turned on his super memory, stretched out his other hand, grabbed the lantern in her hand, and then twitched hard.
The green lantern was about to be pulled out of Kavina's hand in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Kavina looked hard and shouted softly, "Let it go!"
The entire green lantern suddenly exploded, and terrifying power instantly burst out from the center of the lantern.
At the same time, Kavina suddenly burst out with powerful power. The moment He Ao was hit by the explosion, she broke away from He Ao's control and flew backwards.
At the same time, He Ao immediately grasped the handle of the lantern and stepped back.
Before Como could react, He Ao grabbed his hand and threw him back.
The bright light shone down from the dome again in an instant, illuminating the entire rotunda.
Como flew through the void and fell backward to the ground.
He Ao, on the other hand, stabilized his figure after taking a few steps back, raised his hand, and looked at the palm of his hand.
The handle and main body of the lantern had been completely shattered in the battle just now, and in his hand, a ball of black 'ashes' was floating.
A diffuse green light surrounded the ashes, giving off a strange color.
This is the core of the green lantern and the real 'core' of this castle.
However, this core is currently being 'interfered' by the green light on the periphery, preventing him from directly controlling this item.
At this moment, diffuse and messy memories also appeared in He Ao's mind.
That 'forgotten' thing finally vaguely emerged in He Ao's mind as the green lantern exploded.
The name of that thing is, 'Eye of Truth Slate'.
"How could you?"
Kavina stood up, her dark eyes full of unconcealable surprise, "You can't possibly have doubts about my identity, you should completely believe me!"
"Maybe it's because I have a lot of experience being backstabbed by my teammates?"
He Ao shrugged, pinched the glowing ashes in his hand, and pulled out the black broadsword from the pirate treasure chest.
An inconspicuous orange-gray halo appeared in his eyes, and overlapping powers from the Eye of Truth poured into his body, and those hidden true memories gradually emerged.
He Ao does not have a lot of power to activate the Eye of Truth. He is just constantly driving the power of the Eye of Truth to 'unveil' another power covering him.
Under this level of stimulation, the eye of truth hidden behind him will not be revealed.
Kavina's ability should be related to memory. She completely inserted her existence into He Ao's memory, covering up He Ao's original memory and blurring his memory recognition in a short period of time.
In fact, until this moment, the memory Kavina implanted in his mind has not disappeared.
The power of the Eye of Truth that He Ao now inspired only helped him uncover the hidden memories.
At this moment, He Ao actually has two completely different memories existing in his mind at the same time, which will cause certain cognitive obstacles, but there will be no major problems in a short time, and it is still within the range that he can bear.
In fact, until the concealed memory was completely revealed, he was not completely sure that the memory in his mind was false, and he could not tell whether 'Kawina' was his 'teammate'.
But this did not affect his feeling of discomfort. The core source of this discomfort was the 'covered up' memory of the Eye of Truth.
There is a high probability that Kavina's ability is not enough to affect the power of the angelic Eye of Truth. She can only affect He Ao's memory of the Eye of Truth.
However, the power of the Eye of Truth will not disappear after He Ao's "amnesia". He Ao's vision is still affected by the Eye of Truth, and he can see things that ordinary people cannot see.
This resulted in a cognitive gap. He Ao knew that his vision was different from before, but he could not remember why he had such a vision.
The moment this cognitive contradiction emerged, He Ao actually knew that his consciousness had been affected in some way.
After all, he also has rich experience in contact with abilities that affect consciousness. This kind of ability is not uncommon in the world of copies, such as the ability of the 'Dream Weaver' to weave dreams, and the ability of the mysterious man in Jace's copy to make people 'forget their appearance'.
However, this does not mean that Kavina's ability is weak. If He Ao had not obtained the Eye of Truth and had not had that obviously contradictory cognitive gap to remind him that he was affected, he would not have been able to discover his own problems so quickly.
The Eye of Truth was also the reason why Kavina had to come to 'approach' him personally.
Probably because she noticed the existence of the Eye of Truth and became greedy.
The second reason is that Heao's memory about the Eye of Truth, as an 'extension' related to angel-level items, is the easiest to break through the 'coverage' of Kavina's memory.
Therefore, Kavina must personally bring a lantern to approach He Ao, use the power of the lantern to increase her own strength to suppress He Ao's memory, and wait for an opportunity to deal with He Ao.
Her ability is very effective. After He Ao was 'implanted' in memory, he actually didn't realize that Kavina might not be his teammate at first.
But Kavina is not a very good 'actor'.
It may be that her ability is too easy to gain the trust of others, or she may be afraid of long nights and dreams, so her actions tend to be eager in many cases, which may inadvertently reveal her "ulterior motives".
So He Ao deliberately tested it several times. For example, when Kavina wanted to close the distance with him from behind, he killed the monster next to Como, allowing Como to naturally insert between the two.
Through repeated trials, Kavina gradually became irritable, and even took the initiative to ask He Ao to 'rescue' her when she was besieged by a rickety figure, in order to hold him back.
Of course, in fact, their confrontation was invisible, and it seemed to be a reasonable choice under the circumstances.
Although Kaweina's acting skills are slightly worse, she is not stupid, and she has not made any fundamental mistakes, so in the end, He Ao is not completely sure that his 'teammate' has other thoughts.
So he did an experiment.
The greatest help Kavina can provide is the lantern that can illuminate the darkness, which also makes her very 'important' in this darkness.
But in fact, the castle itself has light, but it seems to have fallen into darkness due to an 'enemy attack'.
So to change the way of thinking, if Kavina is related to the people in this castle, is this darkness a special environment deliberately created for her 'importance'?
In the dark, people will naturally gather under the light, and Kavina can make people gather under the light of the lantern without having to do anything.
The more dangerous it is, the more people will gather around Kavina.
So He Ao deliberately did the opposite, and with the help of the temporary cover of the walls of shadow when fighting the rickety figure, he left the illuminated area of the lantern in a very short period of time, stepped on the edge of the lantern's light, and entered the darkness.
middle.
Although Kavina's ability did not disappear after entering the darkness, the memory of the Eye of Truth in He Ao's mind became loose. Although he did not immediately recall the 'Eye of Truth', he remembered that he might have one.
An 'angel-level' extraordinary item.
And this information is important enough.
this means:
First, Kavina's lantern did affect him to some extent, which was probably the reason for his cognitive confusion at the time.
Second, that lantern can suppress the 'memory' related to angels, so its own status and strength are probably not low.
From this, he had two guesses. First, Kavina was probably the 'bad guy', and second, that lantern was probably the core of the entire castle.
After all, in such an area whose overall strength does not exceed the angel level, it is unlikely that two high-level extraordinary items could exist at the same time.
The brief disappearance of He Ao from the field of vision and the power that He Ao burst out in the battle seemed to make Kavina aware of some signs. She no longer took the initiative to approach He Ao, and even deliberately kept a distance from He Ao.
.
She may not believe that He Ao has guessed that there is something wrong with her, but she is cautious enough.
At that time, if He Ao suddenly got angry, she would most likely be able to escape.
So after the stone door was pushed open, the active and passive roles of the two people were switched. The person who wanted to close the distance changed from Kaweina to He Ao.
And the ‘statue’ placed on the platform was the ‘turning point’ of everything.
In Kavina's plan, she probably wanted to use the pollution in the statue to briefly control He Ao, and then she would steal He Ao's Eye of Truth.
But as soon as Heao entered the door, he noticed the pollution that the statue was full of, and quickly figured out Kavina's plan.
He is still somewhat resistant to pollution, so he just takes advantage of it.
However, when he approached the statue, he still hesitated, which made Kavina more sure that the pollution was effective, and finally she could approach him with confidence.
"Have you been playing me?"
Kavina seemed to have come to her senses at this time. She looked at He Ao and swept the black ashes in He Ao's hand with cold eyes.
"I'm just cooperating with you."
He Ao smiled and raised the black broadsword in his hand. He had indeed been cooperating with Kavina's 'role play', but he just added a little bit of his own understanding.
The green light on the black ashes looks a bit like some kind of forced interference force, which should be Kavina's last resort.
If He Ao was given some time, he should be able to crack it, but obviously, Kavina would not give him this time.
"ah?"
At this time, Como, who had just fallen to the ground in the explosion, got up in a daze and looked at Kavina.
"ah?"
He looked at He Ao blankly again.
He has Kavina's 'memory' in his mind. In his 'memory', this Kavina should be a person from 'He Ao'. Why did the two people who were just joking and laughing suddenly turn against each other?
He seemed to be the one who was present throughout the whole process but knew nothing about it.
"ah?"
Finally, he turned around and looked blankly into the void in front of him.
