Xiuge looked at these images that kept emerging from the depths of his mind and couldn't help but sigh.
They are not just a simple face. Under the instinct of the descendants of An Abyss, the images, memories, instincts and everything they control are all forcibly "integrated" together, which means that
Therefore, Xiuge can not only use this mask to change his own appearance, but he can also use it to "imitate" another person in the most thorough way.
Xiuge even felt that describing this ability as "imitation" was no longer accurate.
Perhaps it should be called "reproduction" or "reappearance".
Looking at these faces that kept flashing in his mind, Xiuge inexplicably remembered the title of Theseus, the "God of the Thousand-Faced God".
Speaking of which, Theseus has demonstrated his abilities more than once in the form of jokes in the Dream Sanctuary. Although from those actions, Shuge still had difficulty judging Theseus's true strength in this aspect, but he
I know that what I am doing now with this "Dark Abyss Mask" is probably just scratching the surface of that "change ability".
He thought for a moment, and then picked one of the faces that kept flashing by.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be an ordinary male resident of Salem City. His appearance was simple, honest, and his arms were strong. He seemed to be a worker in a nearby crystallization mine.
As Xiuge "selected" his target, the rich magical fog immediately began to shake in the darkness of the room. At this moment, Xiuge only felt that he was forcibly entering the foggy state of the messenger in the mirror, and his
The body and flesh are continuously stretched and deformed during this process, just like the clay in an invisible hand.
In just a short moment, the changes brought about by the Dark Abyss Mask were completed.
At this moment, a large amount of information that did not belong to cultivation took effect in his mind, and then, the originally void memories, knowledge, habits and perceptions all descended on this temporary body.
Two seconds later, a simple-looking miner from Salem City quietly left his seat.
The palms of the hands are covered with calluses, which are the traces left by working in the crystal mine for a long time, and there is a long and narrow old scar on the arm, which was injured by a lamp that fell in the mine while working.
Following the habits of this body, Xiuge walked slowly twice in the darkness.
But when he sat down on the chair again, tears flowed down silently, falling on the dining table and his body.
The "reappearance" brought about by the Dark Abyss Mask is too specific and real.
Xiuge not only received the habits and instincts of the original owner of this body, but also received all his memories.
So Shuge knew that the crystal mine miner named "Henry" he was playing now had been living in Salem City for more than twenty years. He once had a wife, but she was seriously ill and died a few years ago.
.
His daughter has outstanding alchemy talent, and he loves his daughter very much. It is for this reason that he works day and night in the crystal mine and sends his daughter to the best alchemical physician college on the plateau...
…
Henry liked the sour beer in Salem City very much. He especially liked the beer hall with a lively little girl as a bartender. This girl always reminded him of his daughter.
Before the armistice celebration, he asked a clerk at the Peace Newspaper Agency to write a letter for him.
In the letter, Henry warned his daughter to stay away from the male students in the college, especially the young nobles, who like to tease women too much and always don't like to be responsible...
He also said that he planned to go to the clock tower in Salem City on the day of the armistice celebration to collect the souvenirs distributed by the royal families of the two countries, and he could send these souvenirs there at that time.
Then……
Naturally, there is nothing more.
In Henry's memory, Shuge saw the bell tower collapsing in the roar, saw the bricks flying in all directions, and also saw the terrifying shadow surging out of the potholes on the ground... Henry was in the explosion.
He was injured, and until he was swallowed up by the surging black mud, he still held in his palm the armistice souvenir issued by the Royal Family of Delan to the people, which was an extremely exquisite iris hair ornament...
In the past rounds of torture, Xiuge's spirit and character have become extremely tough. However, now, when he has turned himself into a thoroughly ordinary person, he has to bear the burden of this identity.
Many emotions, memories and the despair when he was on the verge of death.
And when Xiuge directly faced those strong emotions and memories as an ordinary father, he almost indulged in them on the spot.
They are simply too concrete and real.
He now wants to drink beer, with more ice, but without any syrup, and a squeeze of lemon juice if possible...
He wanted to go and play Dragon Teeth with acquaintances, so that when he didn't have to work in the mine, he could kill a whole boring night...
My wife's tombstone needs to be cleaned on time, but the tombkeeper there can't believe it because he always likes to be lazy.
He also wanted to visit Bolden's School of Alchemy Physicians...
In the darkness, the sturdy man who had transformed through the mist of the dark abyss raised his hands and pressed them on his face, tears still flowing out uncontrollably.
What he used was the "instinct" left behind by the deceased, and what was filled in his brain were those memories that originally belonged to him. Two completely different experiences were mixed together, and what he drew from them
The conclusion made Xiuge feel even more sad than ever before.
He knew that there would probably no longer be any sour beer in Salem City, and Henry's friends would probably not be left with a few. The cemetery where Henry's wife was buried was destined not to receive the care and cleaning it deserved. After all, the remaining ones
A living person cannot even take care of himself...
Bolden's School of Alchemy Physicians was bombarded not long ago, and many young students even died as a result. Even if they were lucky enough to escape, they would have to join the army because of this war and go to a dangerous place.
front.
"What the hell..."
Finally, Xiuge suppressed his emotional fluctuations with great difficulty.
If Shuge is only allowed to experience the past of a deceased person and the despair he experienced before his death, it will not be enough to cause such a strong emotional impact. What really makes Shuge feel extremely sad is that this ordinary person
Everything that the deceased cherishes and pursues... These ideas are so simple and simple, but Xiuge knows that there is no way for them to be realized.
Even from the beginning, everything was far from what he expected.
Xiuge put down his palm, and the face transformed by the Dark Abyss Mask shook gently in the darkness.
After successfully controlling those violent emotions, Xiuge finally got the opportunity to verify the essence of this ability.
He converged his attention and focused it all on the many knowledge and instincts that emerged with the "change", so Xiuge discovered at this moment that he could actually control the crystallization mines and mines.
Many matters in the mine were at his fingertips. Not only did he understand how to mine ore safely, he even knew how to fool those mean mine supervisors...
And as these memories and instincts continued to revive, Xiuge found that he even knew how to make several different side dishes of Salem City, as well as several folk ways of playing Dragon Tooth Cards...
This feeling is really amazing.
It is completely different from the process of slowly reading the corresponding memories and learning before Xiuge. Just as Xiuge originally envisioned, these memories, knowledge and instincts are simply "tied" to these faces and bodies.
"That is to say... when I directly transform into these dead people, I can directly control everything they once controlled?"
Xiuge immediately realized the powerful potential behind the Dark Abyss Mask.
If it is just changing the body shape and appearance, then the role that such an ability can play is still relatively limited. But if this is the case now, then the Dark Abyss Mask will not only be a powerful disguise ability for Xiuge.
It is more likely to become his means of combat in various situations.
The change in the way of thinking brought about by using masks for simulation can even be used in some special fields, such as magic or academic research...
After realizing this, Xiuge immediately released his current changed state. He used magic power to squeeze out a water ball, washed his face vigorously, and then once again concentrated on those who were related to An Abyss.
The mask is closely associated with the face.
He now urgently needs to find cases among the victims hunted by the descendants of Dark Abyss that can bring him convenience in battle.
It didn't take long for Xiuge to find some figures that met his requirements.
He first found some members of the Three-Color Brotherhood. Most of these stalkers who made a living from theft and assassination in the past had some unique skills and knowledge. After Xiuge selected one of them to change, he immediately
He found that he had a new understanding of the laying of traps, the destruction of door locks, and the concealment of traces. Not only that, after he picked up a magic-stifling silver dagger, he was even able to skillfully let it slide under his fingers.
Point "dance".
Of course, this level of ability is not enough to satisfy Xiuge.
And as he explored further, soldiers, traders, clerks, scholars...
More and more identities were unearthed by Xiuge, and it didn't take long for Xiuge to successfully find some figures of the Law Committee mages who had been devoured by the descendants of An Yuan in the past battles.
A moment later, a mage who had been devoured on the day of the disaster reappeared in the room, and as the changes occurred, a large number of memories related to the Legal Committee and magical scholarship emerged.
Although this mage is just an ordinary stream-level executor in the Legal Committee, Xiuge still feels from him a magical thinking that is completely different from his own - one that has truly been cultivated and trained by the Legal Committee.
Deep habits developed.
Even the techniques for performing some simple tricks are obviously different from those that Xiuge has figured out on his own.
Shuge rubbed his fingers gently, and a dazzling blue electric light immediately jumped from his fingertips. This was the magic engraved by the stream-level mage, and now, it has indirectly become Shuge's.
One of his abilities, as long as he maintains this change, Xiuge can cast this stream-level destructive magic anytime and anywhere.
"From this point of view, I can completely simulate a spellcaster's true state, magic skills, spellcasting instincts, mastered knowledge and rituals through the Dark Abyss Mask, and even include the magic they have engraved..."
Xiuge felt the magic power in his body while thinking: "However, this change will not have any impact on the magic power stock. That is to say, if I have the opportunity to directly transform into a real lake-level, or even deep-sea
A high-level mage, my magic power is still not enough to support the casting of such difficult spells."
Although a little regretful, Xiuge was extremely surprised by this discovery.
Because he can not only master the magic that he could not learn before due to time and energy issues, but he can also use the simulation of the members of the Legal Committee to discover a large amount of important information related to the Salem City Legal Committee branch.
.
"So, after General Boots officially takes control of Iris Street, they will also have victims, right?"
Xiuge let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, then let me see what your attitude is towards Salem City..."
Then, Xiuge took out a piece of magic crystal. While replenishing his magic power, he continued to search among the "mountain of faces" and figures.
On this page, Felix didn't sleep peacefully. He always felt that certain changes were happening around him frequently. Several times, he even vaguely felt that strangers had come into the room.
But the door is good, and Xiuge is still here. With such a mage here, it is naturally impossible for robbers or thieves to sneak in.
Felix felt that he might have thought too much.
"Good morning."
Felix got up and said hello to Shuge, but then he was startled.
Xiuge's complexion didn't look good. Although he looked calm and had a smile on his face, the green-black color lingering around his eyes was extremely eye-catching.
"Uh... didn't you rest last night?"
"Rest? Oh, I don't need to rest. After all, there are many important things that need to be done."
Xiuge replied smoothly. He put aside a magic crystal in his hand that had been completely "sucked dry". Then he picked up the water glass and poured two mouthfuls of the slightly pungent magic water into his mouth.
Under the strong stimulation of the smell of "mouthwash", Xiuge's spirit was immediately boosted.
"After breakfast, I will set off to Iris Street... I don't need you to lead the way this time. I can handle the things there myself."
As he spoke, Xiuge grinned at Felix, showing a strange and confident smile.
