Everyone else was discussing things about wizards, secrets, magic and ghosts, and no one noticed what Lily was doing: it was natural for the husky girl to be overly curious and run around, even if she suddenly squatted down and dug a hole in the ground.
If she buried herself, no one would take a second look. So Lily stood blankly next to the stage, eyes wide open, listening to the sounds coming from nowhere in time and space, until the sounds slowly turned into a noisy mess.
, just like the noise when the radio encountered interference, she suddenly woke up as if awakening from a deep dream.
Lily shook her ears. The ghost's voice could no longer be heard, and the faint shadows in her eyes gradually faded like water ripples. She raised her ice and fire claws and scratched in the air, finally confirming that they were all phantoms.
.
Hao Ren finally noticed the girl's movement and asked from a distance: "Lily, what are you doing?"
"I just heard someone talking!" Lily immediately ran to Hao Ren and told everyone what she had just seen and heard.
Nangong Sanba frowned: "Is it a message left by a ghost?"
"Didn't you say that the spirits here are all weak, and they are so mixed together that they can no longer distinguish each other?" Hao Ren glanced at Sanba, "What's going on?"
Nangong Sanba glanced at Lily curiously and sprinkled some powder into the air: "The spirits here are indeed very weak. See for yourselves."
After the words fell, the powders that had been sprinkled into the air were already suspended in the air under the pull of magic power. They dispersed around everyone like mist, and then emitted a faint fluorescent light. This weak light slightly illuminated the dim space around them.
.In the fluorescence of the powder, some chaotic light and shadow gradually emerged. But it gradually disappeared after a few seconds, and no clear image could be seen in the light and shadow.
"Those are the spirits entrenched in this town." Nangong Sanba raised the corner of his mouth, "You have also seen the resolution."
"I don't know if it's because of your poor eyesight or something else..." Lily's ears twitched, "Anyway, I can see quite clearly."
Hao Ren was immediately surprised. He looked at the Husky girl unexpectedly. He didn't expect that this girl had such an unexpected ability: even the weak ghosts that the demon hunter couldn't distinguish were captured by her. Nangong Wuyue also clicked his tongue.
Surprised, she even asked Vivian: "Do werewolves have the talent to sense the undead?"
"Werewolves don't have this talent..." Vivian thought about it seriously, her expression suddenly became weird, "But it is true that dogs can ward off evil spirits, and Chinese people say that cats and dogs have psychic eyes. Can they see dirty things?
?”
Everyone: "..."
The expression on Vivian's face when she said this was so serious that even Lily didn't know how to refute it. Duncan, who was next to him, wanted to yell "This is unscientific" but he still swallowed it: the key point
At that moment, he still remembered that he was a more unscientific fantasy creature.
Hao Ren waved his hand and dismissed the topic. He looked at the seemingly empty small square around him thoughtfully: "It seems that there are many ghosts in this town. In fact, I seemed to have heard some sounds when I first arrived in this place, but
It's obviously not as clear as Lily's perception. Well, Lily, you are responsible for paying attention to the movements of the spirits, and tell me whatever you hear and see. Maybe these spirits can tell us something about the town."
"Oh, sure!" Lily puffed up her chest confidently, "Speaking of which, they seemed to be discussing the lord's affairs just now. This town should have been a noble fiefdom before. Is this information useful?"
"Noble fiefdom?" Vivian frowned, "It's useless. In that era, almost all the land belonged to the nobility."
Lily regretfully said "Oh" and began to lead the way with her eyes wide open. Her eyes were slightly glowing with golden light. Invisible things in this lost town kept emerging and slowly appearing in her field of vision.
Fading away. In front of others, there was only a layer of gray mist on the town's paths, but in Lily's eyes, there were some translucent shadows flashing through the mist from time to time.
It's a pity that most of the shadows are very, very thin, and they are not even considered undead. They are just a little echo left when the soul dissipates. They are just floating in the air blankly, but the real soul has long since left.
Hao Ren took out the data terminal from his pocket. He also saw the readings of the spirit body. However, this thing was not specially used to detect undead creatures. Radar alone could not communicate with ghosts, so he put away the terminal again.
Got up.
When passing an abandoned house, Nangong Sanba checked the street sign in front of the house: "Domir...is there any record of this town in history?"
"No," Duncan replied, "We have checked the information, and both the place name 'Domir' and the records of human towns that once existed in this area are blank. This place has been completely erased from history.
It fell off, I’m not sure if it’s due to the power of magic or simply due to the age.”
Vivian thought for a moment: "It should just be a matter of time. Phenomenal spells that can tamper with history on a large scale were only possible by guys like Odin and Zeus in the mythical age. I don't think a wizard who was promoted from a human being could do it."
To have such a talent. Europe was in chaos hundreds of years ago. It is not unusual for a small town in such a remote area to be lost in history. What's more, it has completely disappeared from the map, and future generations have no place to look it up.
."
Nangong Wuyue crawled at the back of the team. She felt something strange while her snake tail was crawling on the ground. She rolled up her tail and looked around, and suddenly discovered something: "Have you noticed, there are snakes everywhere in this town?
Ash."
"Gray?" Hao Ren looked at his feet and found that he was stepping on a layer of gray-black powder. He really hadn't noticed these things that could be seen everywhere before, "This is..."
"It's like the ashes left by burning wood," May said, twisting a bit of ashes on the ground with her fingers. "It's everywhere from the entrance of the town to here."
Hao Ren looked around thoughtfully. He saw no obvious signs of a fire. The ashes that could be seen everywhere in the town didn't know where they came from.
There is no record of this "Domir" town at all in history. No one can tell when and how it disappeared, and no one knows what the scene was like when the town was destroyed. Only according to the
Based on the closed situation of the town and the spirits entrenched here, Hao Ren judged that this place should have been intact until it was pulled into the alien space, so the "grey" in the town should have appeared after the secret realm was sealed.
Unless this town had a custom of spreading plant ashes all over the ground before. Hao Ren thought about it, and he felt that this possibility was not high.
Lily held the fire torch and walked in front. After concentrating her energy, she saw more spirits appearing in the air. The number of these spirits was abnormal. They were almost densely packed on the streets.
They walked around, even overlapping each other, pushing and shoving into a group. The scale was completely unlike what such a small town could accommodate. Lily was a little confused, and after careful observation, she finally discovered the secret of these spirits.
: Most of those "ghosts" are actually duplicates.
Although it can't be seen clearly, it can still be judged from the rough outline and shape that some of the ghosts wandering around are actually the same one. They keep walking up and down the street along a roughly fixed trajectory, just in time order.
There is just a difference: such repeated ghosts always walk into the same door, and it is this that allows Lily to discover the secrets of these spirits.
Confused, she told Nangong Sanba about her discovery, and the latter discussed it with others. Vivian suddenly had an idea: "Maybe these spirits are not the remnants of human beings."
Hao Ren didn't quite understand: "That's..."
"Perhaps it is the memory of this town, or it may be the resonance phenomenon of a more powerful soul. In short, they are not ghosts, but things projected by another force, so there will be repetitions and follow a fixed trajectory.
Action," Vivian said as a faint blood-red mist surrounded her. "I was just beginning to suspect that if all the residents in the town turned into ghosts, there should be a strong undead power accumulated here.
That's right, but apart from a little change in temperature and those spirits wandering around, there's no similar 'environment' here."
Hao Ren didn't know much about this matter. After asking Cassandra, he found out that when a large number of ghosts (or similar undead) gather together, they will produce an "aura"
"The greater the number, the deeper the degree of superposition. More than a hundred ghosts are enough to produce an energy field in an area that can be perceived by ordinary people. This energy field can cause hallucinations and even produce serious consequences such as brain death.
.
At least the undead produced by humans have this property.
The data terminal also confirmed Cassandra's statement, but its explanation was easier to understand: the superposition of electromagnetic fields.
Hao Ren reasoned a little deeper about the current phenomenon, and suddenly felt a little confused. (To be continued...)
