When he returned home, Chen Ziang saw his sister Xiaozhu, still sitting in the rocking chair in the living room, with a dull expression and saying nothing.
"Xiaozhu, are you going to bed?" Chen Ziang asked tentatively.
Chen Xiaozhu didn't react, but this was the best reaction.
If she is really angry, she will turn her head away from herself to show her resistance.
A girl in her twenties has the same IQ as a five- or six-year-old child. If not, even if she is blind and unable to see, it is not impossible to find love of her own.
However, even for such a willful sister, Chen Ziang only felt sorry for her and had no dislike for her.
She took care of her sister and put her into pajamas, helped her go to the bathroom to wash up, then put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and turned off the lights.
Chen Ziang returned to his room, bringing with him the Mandala Sword, the spiritual pressure meter, and the rational lozenges as usual.
Start activating the power of dream walking.
The preconscious layer and the subconscious layer are both spiritual spaces unique to each person, but the collective subconscious layer is a bizarre and bizarre collection of sporadic thoughts that seep out of everyone's subconscious. Therefore, it is surrounded by dangers and cannot be predicted, so one needs to be extremely careful.
Chen Ziang had no intention of exploring the collective subconscious space. He just meditated on the "Ancient City of Enlanke" at the subconscious level, and then activated his power again.
This is also another characteristic of the dream world: to get from one place to another, there is no need to walk physically, but to transfer mentally.
I think, therefore I come; I think, therefore I come.
Arriving at the ancient city of Enlanke, Chen Ziang was surprised to find that something was different here.
The moss spreading on the walls of houses everywhere has turned into dark red, with large, blood vessel-like veins bulging in it, and they seem to be beating to a certain rhythm.
The doors and windows of every house were closed, and there were no flying nightmares in the air. The stone-paved streets were empty, and the gaps were soaked with dark red traces, as if something unbearable had happened.
Arriving at the town square, Chen Ziang saw that a simple altar had been erected in the center, with pearls forming a circle on it and three candles lit. The old book Naoya Yasui had brought was suspended above the altar, surrounded by pearls.
Surrounded by candles, it rotates at a fast and slow speed.
Even if he just stared at him, it only took two or three seconds to feel his heart being pinched. Chen Ziang had to move his gaze downwards and landed on the ground below the altar.
A strange, blood-like viscous liquid continued to slowly flow and seep around the altar, and then submerged into the gaps in the paving stones.
At this time, Nicole was kneeling in front of the altar, maintaining a strange praying posture, with her bone wings folded behind her back like a folding fan.
Chen Ziang approached him, but there was no response from the other party.
After thinking for a moment, he wisely chose not to disturb him, but came to the temple.
On the Chaos Altar in the temple, after he entered consciousness, the list that popped up remained unchanged.
[Touch of the Abyss] requires 100 points to upgrade; [Profane Sorcery] and [Thousand-faced Incarnation] each require 50 points; the military rank is [Lamb], and promotion requires 100 points.
If Nicole could still communicate, Chen Ziang would definitely ask her what she meant, but now that the priest was presiding over what ceremony, he could only make his own decision.
In terms of benefits, although promotion to the military rank can unlock more redeemable powers, it does not have any benefits in itself.
When the situation is not urgent, Chen Ziang will of course give priority to promotion in order to find the power to save his sister.
But now that the witch Mie Nishikawa is like the Sword of Damocles hanging above Jibei City, she may chop it down at any time and turn everyone into corpses everywhere. He has to prioritize improving his own strength.
[Blasphemy and Witchcraft] provides a lot of occult knowledge, and Chen Ziang is a little interested in it.
The reason is naturally that he was glared from the distance by the Ghoul King and almost died on the spot... No matter how powerful the combat power is, it can't withstand this kind of dimensionality reduction blow. Only by mastering enough knowledge can it be avoided in advance.
However, if I think about it carefully, hadn't Rio Hokaze warned me a long time ago?
In order to prevent the relics of gods from causing harm to Jibei City, I insisted on taking the risk to Lingyi Town. In fact, if I had known that this thing was related to the King of Ghouls, I could have directly turned to the ancient city of Enlanke and brought it to Lingyi Town.
The crisis was eliminated invisible.
In the mysterious world, information is the most precious resource. But after all, I have an official establishment, and if I need any knowledge, I can go to the intelligence officer for help, so [blasphemy and witchcraft] is not irreplaceable for me.
The same goes for [Thousand-faced Incarnation]. If you are a civilian exterminator and need to walk under the night without letting the authorities know your identity, then this power is necessary.
But as a security officer of Countermeasure Section 6, he can go anywhere in Jibei City, and there is no need to disguise himself.
In this way, the answer is ready to come out.
"Upgrade [Touch of the Abyss]." Chen Ziang thought quickly.
The interface blurred again, and then a message came:
Since I did not take the initiative to die and connect with Suhu's consciousness, but the Chaos Altar conveyed it on my behalf, I did not have a splitting headache or the feeling of mental pollution.
At the same time, after being translated by the Altar of Chaos, he roughly understood the meaning of this message.
The upper limit of tentacle summoning is +1, and now two tentacles can be summoned at the same time.
New tentacle type is added, please choose the future evolution direction:
matrix.
concept.
Spirituality.
…
What the hell?
Even if it’s a skill tip, can you at least describe it in detail?
Chen Ziang was very helpless. With the lesson learned last time, he would definitely not risk his life and ask Su Hu this time, so he could only plan to go to Suifeng Rio and ask in detail after work next Monday.
After leaving the temple, Nicole was still kneeling in front of the altar in the square, concentrating on presiding over some unknown ceremony. Apparently she had no time to chat with him.
Chen Ziang did not intend to disturb her, silently activated his dream walking power and began to return to his spiritual world.
Coming out of the preconscious level and returning to reality, outside the bedroom window was the pitch-black night and the dim light of the street lamps.
Chen Ziang finished washing, changed into pajamas, lay on the bed, and started checking his mobile phone for messages before going to bed.
[Jade Rabbit refuses to admit defeat]: Senior, I am learning to cook from my mother!
[Jade Rabbit refuses to admit defeat]: I will bring a lunch box for senior tomorrow!
[Is there any urban legend?]: Come on, but don’t go to bed too late, you have to get up early tomorrow.
Tsukimiya Suzuna's messages are responded to very quickly. This girl seems to live in a chat software. Every time I send her a message, I get a reply in seconds.
[Jade Rabbit refuses to admit defeat]: Yes, what time will we meet our seniors tomorrow?
[Is there any urban legend?]: About eight to eight-thirty.
[Jade Rabbit refuses to admit defeat]: Okay, good night~/I want a kiss
Chen Ziang stared at the Q version of the "want to kiss" expression for a moment.
[Is there any urban legend?]: Good night.
After closing the chat window and continuing to check other messages, he found that Xia Zili had sent him the QR codes of three electronic tickets.
[Good at singing]: Sorry, I sent it to you so late. The concert address is Jinchuan District Martial Arts Hall. It opens at 10 am. You need to enter 15 minutes in advance. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
[Is there any urban legend?]: Okay, I must be on time.
Staring at the phone screen again for a while, Chen Ziang suddenly realized that this big star was not Suzuna Tsukinomiya - to be exact, most people would not be able to send her messages every time like Suzuna did.
Messages will be answered immediately.
So he put his phone on the bedside table to charge, and then began to close his eyes and fall asleep.
At the same time, in the mansion on the top floor of the Riverside Apartment in Sanhe District, Xia Zili was sitting on her bed, hugging the pillow, and curling up her slender white legs like a helpless little girl hugging a doll.
Although she has a concert tomorrow, she still can't sleep at this moment, her head is filled with sad melodies.
In the dark room, a faint light suddenly lit up. The phone on the quilt lit up, and a new message popped up:
"Okay, I must be on time."
She stared blankly at the phone screen.
After a long time, he slowly tilted his body to the side and lay down on the soft big bed.
After a few more minutes, her breathing became longer.
Beneath the messy blond hair is a beautiful sleeping face that is peaceful and peaceful.
