With the background sound like a snowstorm constantly coming to his ears, and the sound like shoveling snow in the background, Sherlock gradually regained consciousness.
Then I realized that I had turned into a face-down posture at some point, and the white patch in front of me was obviously granular and had a hint of chill... it must be snow.
"Huh..." He took a deep breath, stretched out his hands to prop up his body, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the "shoveling sound" came from.
It was a small robot that was in the shape of an inverted triangle and less than one meter tall. It was painted in yellow and had one wheel and one eye. It was digging holes in the snow with a pair of slender robotic arms mounted on its sides holding a shovel.
"[Hey cub, it's another Vault Hunter, a dead Vault Hunter, haha~]" It muttered to itself in a funny electronic sound while digging a hole.
Sherlock looked at this inexplicable situation and was a little dazed for a moment.
He vaguely remembered that after Odin finished his speech, he finally managed to get rid of the pile of "battleship slices" and hurriedly descended to the arena to catch up with the classmates who had set off first and seemed to be in trouble.
Then... it disappeared. I didn't seem to have any memory during this period, and what followed was this snowy field.
Was there an error in the delivery process and it fell into the ice country "Jotunheim"?
Sherlock looked past the weird little robot and looked into the distance.
Due to the blizzard blowing at this time, the visual range was only a few hundred meters, and everything as far as the eye could see was ice and snow. What was a little eye-catching were some irregularly distributed ones on the snowfield.
There is only a "snowdrift" the size of a person lying down.
This... combined with what the little robot in front of me said, might be the place where the so-called "Vault Hunter" was dumped after he died in battle?
It’s hard to say what the force that dropped the people is, but at least the robot’s attitude toward the Vault Hunters should be friendly, otherwise it wouldn’t take the initiative to dig holes and bury them. It’s a machine, and it’s freezing here.
It's not like we're avoiding the plague.
"[Ah oh! Ha! The Vault Hunter is still alive!]" At this time, the little robot finally found that Sherlock had half sat up, cheered, threw away the shovel and rushed over: "[It seems that I can finally leave this ghost place.
!】"
"■■," Sherlock said: "■■■■■?"
?!
He originally wanted to say, "Hello, where are we here?" But after his words came out, it turned into a TV program that seemed to be subject to severe electromagnetic interference, and nothing could be heard except the chaotic sound of electricity.
"[Oh! It seems that your equipment has been completely stripped, Vault Hunter, but it doesn't matter, I have a spare here.]"
As the little robot said this, he picked up the shovel again, rushed straight to the nearest "grave", and started digging.
"■■!" Sherlock couldn't stop him in time, and was about to turn his eyes away subconsciously, but found that there were no bones in the "grave", only a weird robot that looked like a door frame.
If that is also a "Vault Hunter", then the employment scope of this profession is quite wide.
"[Ha! It's here!]" the little robot shouted as he removed what looked like a metal glove from the "Door Frame Robot", then waddled back and handed it to Sherlock: "[Put it on, I hope.
This 'universal tool' can still be used, otherwise I would have to dig a few more times.]"
The user interface in Mass Effect?
Sherlock took it hesitantly and put it on his hand.
Card——squeak——
As the "Universal Tool" adapted to the shape of his hand and tightened on its own, a dull green light flashed in front of Sherlock's eyes, and then a "mini map" and "life and shield bars" appeared in each corner of his field of vision.
"Level experience bar" and "Skills and weapons bar".
It really looks like the interface of "Mass Effect"! And why is the health bar only 1%? The weapons and skills are all empty?
Since he didn't feel anything strange before, he never checked his own condition. But after seeing the "1%" that was constantly shaking, Sherlock's eyes widened and he raised his hand to touch himself, fearing that he would suddenly touch a big hole or something.
.
As a result, everything works fine.
I was still wearing the Hogwarts school uniform, and it was precisely because of its warmth-keeping function that I was able to remain completely unaware in this icy and snowy world. The wand and some of the spell-casting materials and potions prepared in advance were also well protected in the dark.
bag, and the most critical "time stone" is still hanging around his neck, which proves that he is not "a certain possibility" generated by "Sherlock's uncertainty".
Although I didn't feel any discomfort, since this "universal tool" showed that it only had 1% of life left, it was best to give it some treatment.
Sherlock took out his wand and turned the tip to point at himself: "■■■■!"
The "healing as before" function used to treat injuries failed to be successfully cast, but it was not interrupted because of the inability to pronounce it. Sherlock could clearly feel that the feedback given when the spell was retracted was "the target is very healthy and does not need treatment."
This is strange. Is this value false? Or only treatments consistent with "Mass Effect" - such as medical gel - can be effective on it?
It can't be that the "health value" of people on Earth when they are completely healthy only accounts for one percent of this statistical method, right? What level of "blood cow" is this thing usually used?
If the treatment is ineffective... Sherlock frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed his wand at the open space next to him: "■■■■!"
A wisp of flame spurted out from the tip of the wand, ignoring the laws of physics and igniting a piece of ice, melting all the ice and snow there in just a few seconds, creating a large crater.
Huh? I can't recite the "Fire Raging" spell, but the effect is not compromised? Moreover, unique to "Mass Effect", the "skill cooldown" that prevents the user from using any skills again within a certain period of time has also begun to change.
"■■■■!" Sherlock hurriedly cast the spell again before the "cooling" was completed. As expected, "Burning Flame" ignored the so-called cooling and burned a hole in the ice again as normal.
… Could it be that this system only targets locals?
"[Wow~ This digs holes much faster than me!]" The little robot finally reacted and waved its arms: "[I can't tell, Vault Hunter, it turns out you are a 'Siren'!]"
"'Witch'? Is there something wrong with your visual function... uh." Sherlock paused mid-sentence.
Although I don't know why, I seem to be able to speak normally, but this matter is far less important than the other discovery.
Just now, it seemed that because of his "attack", the "Identification Friend or Foe System" that did not appear on the visual interface of the "Universal Tool" was activated at the beginning, and the small robot had an extra green border in Sherlock's field of vision.
, and its name displayed in the recognition system is...
