Xiuge quietly listened to Master Justina's narration.
His mood was far from as calm as it seemed.
As the owner of individual ancient creations, and as a direct user of the power of Dark Abyss, Xiuge knew that there was indeed a certain degree of similarity between the power of himself and the descendants of Dark Abyss.
In fact, he had indeed doubted the relationship between the so-called descendants of the Dark Abyss and the Messenger in the Mirror. Although there seemed to be obvious differences between the two, if one started from the source and nature of their power, they could easily
Find many similarities.
At this point, it would be pure self-deception to insist that the two are completely different or unrelated.
But even so, when Xiuge heard the relevant description from Justina, he was still a little shocked in his heart - he was absolutely unwilling and did not agree to compare himself with those mutilated monsters. This would
Xiuge felt that his dignity had been insulted and damaged.
So Shuge raised his hand, and he performed two simple tricks in front of Justina. Justina also immediately understood what Shuge meant, so she immediately began to concentrate on sensing Shuge's magic power.
After a moment, Xiuge stopped his actions, while Justina shook her head calmly: "There is no abnormality now... I think that normal spellcasting should not be like before.
Under the circumstances, there is no need for you to try this."
Having said this, Justina showed a subtle smile: "Mr. Ernst, you may have misunderstood me."
"Everything I am doing is just to advance the research on those monsters and apply the results to the next plan... But now, our research has reached the most critical stage."
Justina paused for a moment, took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Shuge, and then said: "Next, we will immediately start to verify the plans and possibilities we proposed before, but before doing these dangerous experiments,
I hope to eliminate all potential risks and find a direction that has a better chance of success."
Xiuge took the water glass and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."
"We use the most basic magic laws and common sense as a reference, then the key to exerting influence on magical creatures is to find the moment when the magic power in their bodies is most disordered... Take the changeling bugs as an example, they are most susceptible to external influences, and therefore
The moment they change is when they begin to absorb the nutrients and memory of their prey and carry out the learning process."
Shuge nodded: "We have discussed before that these monsters are indeed highly similar to the changeling bugs."
"Yes, and this key process, corresponding to the monster we are dealing with, points to what I call the 'mimic state'."
Justina continued: "When they enter the 'imitation state', it means that they need to give up their original form and imitate an individual that was completely different and unrelated to themselves in the past... In this process,
Their thinking, habits and even memories will go through a process of reshaping, and I think that as long as we can successfully exert a specific influence in this process, it is possible to cause permanent changes in them."
"The main reason why I am so concerned about the changes in you, Mr. Ernst, is that until now, we have not been able to stably induce the 'mimic state' of these experimental samples. Although they have been separated from the group,
, but still has his own ideas, and will not obey the orders of us 'prey'."
"So what I want to know is what method can be used to stably trigger their magic disorder."
Justina looked at Shuge quietly: "If possible, I hope Mr. Ernst can reveal some directions to me... If this involves your personal secrets, I can also tell you in front of the Eyes of Mel.
The goddess swears, although Merlin and Lehe cannot see me, the goddess Mel can definitely hear my oath."
For a mage scholar who came from the Legal Affairs Commission, this is already the most serious thing to say.
Xiuge slowly picked up the water glass and took a few sips. Then he raised his hand and quickly set up a soundproof ceremony venue in the room.
Seeing Shuge's behavior, Justina immediately became energetic. Not only did she sit up straight, she also quickly tidied up her somewhat messy hair and put on a pose as if she was listening to a speech among Merlinle and the mage teacher.
Serious attitude.
"Master Justina, I have told you some things about the Black Sun Society before. I have made some reservations about their affairs because I am worried that after making these things public, many people may fall into
If you really want to know about the new desperate situation, I can reveal it to a limited extent."
Xiuge's words were more serious than ever before, and an invisible sense of oppression and aura emerged. This made the well-informed female mage shrink back, but she finally nodded firmly to Xiuge.
.
"In the mouths of the members of the Black Sun Society, the monsters we are studying are called 'Children of the Abyss'. They are summoned using changeling bugs as sacrificial prototypes and in conjunction with some lost... evil magic rituals.
Ancient beings, fortunately, they are not complete, so we still have the opportunity to think about strategies here."
Under the oppressive feeling emanating from Xiuge, Justina felt that her mouth was a little dry, but there was no other cup at the moment, and she did not dare to touch the water glass next to Xiuge, so she could only endure it.
And Xiuge's voice continued: "In the set of prophecies believed in by the Black Sun Society, the birth of the Children of the Abyss will usher in the 'Black Sun Era' they are looking forward to, which is what the ancient prophecy said
The rise of the black sun.”
Justina's eyes widened. She seemed to want to say something, but Xiuge directly raised her hand to stop her: "The matter has developed to such an extent. Stop saying ridiculous and believable things. You go over there.
You probably wouldn’t have thought that today’s countries would install new crystal cannons on airships to bomb the ground, right?”
"..."
Justina was silent.
So Shuge continued: "I have come into contact with many people from the Black Sun Society, and even mastered many of their internal magics. Therefore, I can be sure that some kind of bad changes are indeed taking place in Van En - and these are the experimental samples.
The reason for the restlessness is that the magic power in the overall environment has begun to change, but you are not aware of it yet."
"If you just want to wait for the 'imitation state' of those experimental samples, then you will have many opportunities in the future. Their restlessness frequency will only continue to increase. Correspondingly, the danger in Salem City will gradually increase... But I know
Shuge smiled: "You can only believe half of what I say next... I have some kind of evil magic. Using it, I can simply make predictions and get a glimpse of the development of certain things.
, and the reason why I was in the situation last night was that I accidentally glanced at the sky."
"Sky... sky?"
"Yes, I saw that black sun, and my magic power disorder and coma are the price of looking directly at it... Are you satisfied now?"
Justina's face became a little pale, and her breathing became a little rapid due to nervousness, but her eyes were shining again.
The female mage stood up from the chair and quickly walked around the room twice with great anxiety. Shuge saw Justina put the thumb of her right hand into her mouth and started to bite it, then walked around again.
After several laps, Justina finally stood firm. She tremblingly said to Shuge: "Then Mr. Ernst, does this mean..."
"Hey, I thought you would question it?"
Shuge's expression remained calm: "According to Merlin Lehe's traditional magic rules and common sense, the so-called prophecy magic should not be trusted."
Justina gritted her teeth with a grimace, and said tremblingly: "According to Merlin Lehe's rules, we shouldn't be trapped here!"
"So, do you want me to make a prediction about you, ma'am?"
Xiuge looked at the other party seriously: "Don't worry, just peeking into your future is not enough to make me comatose again."
"no no!"
Contrary to Shuge's expectations, Justina decisively chose to refuse: "I don't need these. If Mr. Ernst sees it, please don't tell me! I'm going to take a rest and prepare to start subsequent experiments.
Yes, you... please continue to rest!"
After saying that, Justina immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the door of the ward.
However, at this moment, Xiuge had a thought in his mind, and he shouted: "Please wait."
The female scholar who had already reached the door stopped. Although her face was still pale, she still stopped and waited quietly for Xiuge's next words.
So Xiuge restrained his aura and said slowly: "If you have any questions or needs about the experiment, please come to me in time. Don't wait until I go out before you remember that you need my help... That's all."
"Thank you, I'll pay attention."
Justina's expression softened a little, she nodded, then opened the door and walked out.
What the female mage didn't know was that the moment she walked out of the room, the eyes of the young man in the ward were filled with psychedelic colors and light and shadow, and the power from the Destiny Roots group happened again.
effect.
"Bang!"
The door is closed.
Xiuge sat quietly on the bed, his movements did not change, but his expression was no longer as calm as before.
After Justina learned that he might have some kind of magic to spy on destiny, her behavior was a little abnormal. Although it seemed that this could be explained by hearing too shocking news, out of caution, Shuge finally
Instead, she chose to use the ability of the roots of destiny to investigate Justina.
And the result he got was beyond his expectation.
Xiuge stayed on the bed for a long time, and then he frowned to dispel the psychedelic color in his eyes. When he reached for the water glass beside him, he realized that his palms seemed to be shaking a little.
Just now, at the moment when the beautiful female scholar who had lost an arm walked out of the room, Xiuge saw that her somewhat thin figure had undergone a huge change in his field of vision.
The left half of her body, which had lost her left arm, seemed to have completely transformed into the chaotic appearance of the descendants of An Abyss. Xiuge saw that the dark viscous fluid and shadows formed half of her body, and the other side of her body,
However, it remained the same, and in her right hand, she seemed to be holding a new Walter revolver.
"..."
Shuge refilled the cup in his hand with the magic water, and then he took a sip, using the pungent smell to force himself to regain his composure.
He did not expect that not long after he gained the so-called ability to "see the direction of fate", he would experience such a huge impact. At this moment, he truly understood the subtle attitude shown by Theseus when talking about fate.
.
"Although it is just an afterimage that symbolizes possibility, it is enough to affect my views and judgment..."
Xiuge sighed silently in his heart, and this sentence was captured by the Destiny Roots hiding in the metal disc. They immediately responded humbly and proactively: "Master, maybe you should put yourself
Do you use what you see as a reference? Although our tribe peeps into fate, we never believe in fate. This is an important revelation given to us by the 'God of Destiny'."
"I understand what you mean."
Xiuge sighed, but his frown did not relax at all.
Because just now, he suddenly remembered something very coincidental and strange.
He remembered that when he used the Destiny Root ability to spy on the fate of the female mage who was Justina's friend in the lobby of the Legal Committee, he had seen the female mage die because of being shot in the back. Now he took a closer look.
Thinking about it, in the direction of fate, it seems that what ended her life was not the traditional crystal gun or the powerful crystal bullet.
"Her body is still intact and has not been damaged by the explosion of the crystal bullet. This means that the metal bullet that killed her was most likely a metal bullet from Walter... And I saw Justina holding it in her hand.
Votel's revolver...Right now, the Jeant Hermit is busy receiving supplies and materials from the outside world."
The more Xiuge thought like this, the uglier his face became.
Because he then remembered that when he used the Messenger in the Mirror to deal with Justina's left arm that had mutated due to the assassination of the Black Sun Society, the Messenger in the Mirror failed to obtain any value from it at all.
With such power, it even once suspected Shuge of sending itself to devour useless scraps and garbage.
And does this mean that the descendant of An Abyss who occupied Justina's left arm at that time has actually been transferred?
