There were no dangers along the way, Liu Xing and others successfully escaped from the ruins, and even closed the door to the ruins smoothly.
It has to be said that Elizabeth, this demon doll, is really comprehensive. Not only does it have a variety of monitoring equipment, but her hands also have magic hydraulic devices, which allows her to easily push the cryptographic stone disk.
"Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we would have to set up defenses outside the cave entrance."
Norton gasped and said to Elizabeth: "Those skeletons are controlled by tentacles, no, it should be said to be tree roots, so Elizabeth, can you confirm where these tree roots come from and whether their owner is that person?"
A monster that can make the earth tremble?"
Elizabeth nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I just carefully followed the sound of a tree root and found that it stopped about a kilometer away from us, so that should be the location of the monster.
And I still haven't felt the vitality that these trees should have... So this is very unscientific, and it's not very magical, because even the undead creatures summoned by the necromancer have at least some
There was a little magic fluctuation, but I didn’t feel any magic fluctuation from beginning to end.”
"Could it be that this monster has some kind of shielding device that prevents us from discovering it?" Zhang Jingxu said.
Elizabeth thought for a while, and finally shook her head and said: "That shouldn't be the case. The effect of the shielding device is to control the magic fluctuations within a certain range, so that those of us standing outside cannot feel the existence of these magic fluctuations, but
We should have been within the scope of the shielding device at that time, but the result was that we still couldn't feel the magic fluctuations, which is very unreasonable... But we shouldn't think too much now, because most likely this ruin is
It needs to be sealed, and we probably won’t be able to go in again in the future.”
Looking at Liu Xing and others who were confused, Norton explained: "When it is determined that there are mythical creatures that are difficult to deal with in certain ruins, as well as other factors that may be dangerous to the outside world, we at Miskatonic University will
To put it simply, the sealing process is to block all exits of the ruins so that ordinary people cannot enter and the threats inside cannot escape. As for the specific operation, it depends on the specific situation of the ruins. For example, this ruins should
We will use high-strength steel and cement to make a large square cage and put it inside."
"Is there still such an operation?" Yin En said in surprise.
Norton shrugged and said with a smile: "This sounds troublesome, but the actual operation is very simple. After determining the approximate scope of the ruins, directly dig trenches of corresponding depth around it, and then add special steel plates.
, pour the same special cement, and finally add a cover on top. As for camouflage, just build a road on top and add a gas station next to it."
At this moment, some students who had received news from Norton ran in fully armed.
"It's okay. It seems that those skeletons have no intention of chasing them out, so let's go out now. By the way, we will inform the school that the ruins need to be sealed and let them arrange for the construction team to come over." Norton waved his hand.
The students nodded and began to return the same way, because this tunnel was really narrow...so Liu Xing began to suspect that if the "ghost" inside launched an attack at this time, then his group would probably
will fall into chaos.
But this was just Liu Xing's imagination, because the "ghost" had no such idea.
"If nothing else, this monster just wants to drive us out of the ruins, because I have been paying attention to the situation inside the ruins, and found that those skeletons chose to leave directly after confirming that we had left the ruins, so this monster
The monster may be a biological trap created by the Delta people, and the only instruction it received was to prevent outsiders from entering the core area of the city."
Elizabeth said as she walked: "I was searching my information database just now, and found that this monster may not be as scary as we imagined, because this monster is likely to be an aggregation of spirits. To put it bluntly, it is the monster in the gym.
The product of the fusion of the tower man's soul, and then possessed a large tree that has lost its vitality, or it may be a tree man, so that it can control those tree roots without any magic fluctuations.
, and then use these tree roots to control those skeletons.”
"Spirit body? That is indeed a possibility."
Norton, who was walking in front, nodded and said: "Trees have dense network structures and pipelines to provide nutrients and moisture everywhere, so the power of the aggregated spirits can follow these structures to reach all parts of the trees, allowing
This big tree is moving... But the spirit thing is really difficult to deal with, but judging from the current situation, if this is really an aggregated spirit body, then it should be sealed there.
In a big tree, because the aggregation spirit body is formed by the fusion of a large number of souls, it has too many ideas."
Liu Xing nodded in agreement, because he had also heard of such a strange and original mythical creature as the Aggregating Spirit Body.
As Norton said, the aggregated spirit body is formed by the fusion of a large number of souls, so the aggregated spirit body will behave like a very serious schizophrenia patient - there is a virtual host created after the fusion.
personality, as well as a large number of sub-personalities that are the materials for fusion. The most important thing is that some sub-personalities do not completely lose themselves in the process of fusion, so these sub-personalities that retain their self-awareness will try to seize the power of the main personality.
Because the main personality of the aggregation spirit body is a fused true suture monster, it will most likely appear indecisive. After all, it can have countless different and possibly completely opposite thoughts about one thing in an instant, making it
I didn’t know what to do for a while... For example, if this "ghost" is really a gathering spirit, its personality may have discovered that his group entered the ruins at the first time. As a result, it
I was debating whether or not I should take action and how to take action, and then I made my decision only when my group arrived at the gymnasium.
Of course, it is also possible that a decision was made by a strong sub-personality.
Just like the famous argument - schizophrenia patients will subconsciously construct a big house, and then all personalities will communicate in this place. Of course, those weaker sub-personalities will enter a super autistic state and hide in
If there is no communication with other personalities in a certain corner, those powerful sub-personalities will stand up and occupy good rooms in this big house, and even turn the hall into their own stage.
The gathering spirit body is not just a big house. If the number of Delta people in the gymnasium is followed, then the spiritual space of this gathering spirit body will become a western town, and those strong personalities will become the town.
A police chief or a police sergeant, of course, he may also be a gangster or a bounty hunter. As for ordinary personalities, he can only be a passerby in the town.
Therefore, every time the aggregated spirit makes a decision, it may have to act out a small Western movie - a group of gangsters pretend to be the new mayor and take office, but are tricked by the big family in the town, and then... ahem, this
It's a bit suspected of plagiarism.
All in all, before the aggregation spirit body determines a personality with absolute superiority, it will behave like a robot that has lost control and has no head. Every joint in the body is playing with itself, so the aggregation spirit body in this state
Although the strength is good, it is difficult to exert its true power. However, once the aggregation spirit body finds its "head", the aggregation spirit body will become a very terrifying existence.
But this possibility is not high. After all, an aggregated spirit body is formed by the fusion of a large number of souls, and these souls should not all voluntarily merge. Therefore, many souls will be dissatisfied, and these souls will be dissatisfied.
The personality evolved from the soul is naturally incompatible with the main personality and other sub-personalities. In this way, it will be too difficult for the spirit body to be able to deal with the outside world without first settling in.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing was also glad that this aggregation spirit body had been struggling for tens of thousands of years and could not choose a personality that could take the lead, so that he and his party could escape safely.
After confirming that everyone had left the ruins, Norton arranged for people to temporarily seal the ruins. To put it simply, they put a layer of mud on the door because they would need to enter the ruins for further confirmation.
"If this war machine had not been discovered, we could actually leave here tomorrow."
Norton put his hands on his hips and said: "I have notified the school and the construction team, and they should be able to enter the site for construction tomorrow. However, the situation in Arkham City remains the same. There is still no clue about the releaser of the hypothetical swarm, but the hospital
We have cured many patients with mild symptoms, so the overall situation is still developing in a good direction; but having said that, you must have heard of that mental hospital located on the outskirts of the city, right?"
Liu Xing nodded and replied: "I have heard of it, but I don't know much about it. I only know that something happened in that mental hospital and it is still out of control."
"That's because there are three doors in this mental hospital that can lead to the dreamland, and behind these dreamland doors are areas controlled by ghouls, deep divers and moon beasts, so these three mythical creatures
They jointly controlled the mental hospital, so we had no way to deal with this mental hospital all these years; but fortunately, these mythical creatures seemed to be in harmony with each other, or they had to choose to cooperate because of mutual constraints, because no matter which two parties
If a fight starts, this third party will benefit from it."
Norton said seriously: "So these mythical creatures have arranged agents in the mental hospital. To put it bluntly, the three secret churches are constantly at war with each other in this mental hospital, so we are also happy to watch them fight among themselves, but this time it is just a fantasy.
The swarm of insects also affected them, so many people experienced some special situations... How can I put it, these guys turned into twisted monsters, and it seems that there was no participation of mythical creatures in this process."
"Is this the so-called spiritually influenced entity?" Liu Xing said curiously.
Norton thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Perhaps it can be explained this way, because the three doors in the dreamland are always open, so the power of the dreamland has begun to change everything about the mental hospital. You also know that the dreamland is a place where
There are many differences in the real world, so it is normal for dreams to affect the real world. However, we are not yet sure how big the impact will be. But judging from some things that have happened now, cognition and spirit may be two different things.
A key point.”
"Distort cognition? And then change reality through the mind?" Shi Zixuan frowned and said: "This is not good news. Those patients in the mental hospital have mental problems. The world in their eyes is different from what we see.
It's completely different... I suspect that it won't be long before everything in the entire mental hospital may come back to life."
"This is what we are worried about, so the school is preparing to take this opportunity to address this potential threat."
Norton sighed and said: "Originally we were still thinking about the patients in the mental hospital, but now it seems that they have all been assimilated by the three secret churches, so we can only deal with them together.
"
"There is no other way, but what should we do with those doors to the dreamland? I remember that it is not easy to destroy the door to the dreamland." Zhang Jingxu continued to ask.
Norton thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, the existence of the Dream Gate itself is an unsolved mystery, because even those mythical creatures don't know how the Dream Gate came into being. After all, they came to the earth before
Some doors to the Dreamland already existed before, and when they entered the Dreamland, there were no living creatures in the Dreamland. Therefore, the mythical creatures did not pay much attention to the Dreamland at first, because there was nothing they wanted here.
As a result, many mythical creatures and old rulers later entered the dreamland in order to avoid the battle with the ancient gods."
"But as far as I know, the dreamland really began to undergo huge changes in the last thousand years. For example, some mythical creatures known as the aborigines of the dreamland appeared during this time, and at the same time,
Many landmark areas were also formed during this period, such as Leng Yuan and so on. Therefore, some people suspect that since we humans can enter the dreamland through dreaming, we humans should also be able to influence the dreamland and transform it through dreaming.
