As soon as he returned home, Yong Zhen immediately gathered around with Tamamo Mae and Fenrir.
"How's the situation? Are you in danger?"
Lu Xiao smiled and kissed Yongzhen on the lips: "Don't worry, we didn't encounter any big problems, but..."
Lu Xiao's expression became serious: "There are some things to note about the Lost Land that I want to make clear to you in advance."
…
"An attack on the soul..."
In the underground conference room, Consus and Aletheia also appeared, and Aletheia played back the records of the Lost Land and the First Trial World that she had collected.
The trial world was named by Lu Xiao. Compared with the dangerous worlds outside the route guided by the space beacon, the independent world Lu Xiao encountered this time was relatively safe. He believed that these worlds were the result of someone behind the system.
The trial given to him by the boss.
"First of all, I want to make something clear."
Aletea waved her hand and manifested a large number of holographic projections in the conference room, each projection playing a different picture.
"I referenced all the space science fiction games, movies, and anime including StarCraft, Starship Troopers, and Star Trek."
"Nothing matches the first trial world that Lu Xiao experienced. This should be a brand new world that has no shadow left in the main world."
"Based on this, we can draw a preliminary inference."
Putting away the holographic projection screen that filled the conference room, Aletheia solemnly said: "Due to special rules, the world in the Lost Land cannot be projected into the main world where we are."
"In other words, the next four trial worlds are likely to be unfamiliar worlds without any background reference. Please be mentally prepared for this in advance."
Tamamo held her chin in her hand and muttered: "The first world is a very typical science fiction world... although a very weird monster was mixed in at the end."
"Since Lu Xiao believes that these worlds are trials given by a certain boss, will each of the next four worlds represent a different style?"
Tamamo-mae clapped her fingers and listed them one by one: "Science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, fantasy, urban, history..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Lu Xiao was dumbfounded and interrupted her: "How do you think of feelings according to the divisions at point O? I won't talk about the first four. Is it possible for cities and history?"
"Hehe~ That's right."
Tamamo-mae slapped her forehead cutely: "City and history have no testing effect on us...or you at all."
"No, that's not necessarily the case."
Yongzhen, who had been bowing his head in deep thought, suddenly interjected: "In the final analysis, the theory of the trial world is just Lu Xiao's speculation. Whether this is the case remains to be discussed."
"Taking a step back, if the big boss really plans to arrange a trial, he doesn't necessarily have to set test questions based on personal strength, right?"
"The test of the spirit...or the level of will does not require the use of too strong methods."
Consus clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Okay, everyone, don't make wild guesses here. I have only experienced one world, and there are seriously insufficient clues for reference. There is no need to discuss this issue in depth for the time being."
"What we need to do now is to ensure that after entering the Lost Land, we will not be affected by the inevitable erosion of souls."
Consus first looked at Yongzhen: "Yongzhen and Lu Xiao maintain a strong soul contract, and they have also received soul strengthening from Lu Xiao. The soul strength should be enough to resist attacks from unknown enemies."
"The problem lies with Tamamozen and Fenrir... No, to be precise, it's Tamamozen alone."
Consus pointed at Fenrir and said: "Fenrir's power can ensure that it can partially freeze its soul in a crisis situation and not be affected by any mental erosion from the outside world."
Fenrir's freezing power is not just for the physical level. If it were just such a simple effect, it wouldn't be called a power.
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen have tested it, and even the soul body will be affected by Fenrir's freezing power. If it is used on oneself in a blessed way, it can greatly improve the defense power of the soul and spirit.
In comparison, Tamamo Mae's power, Humei, is a pure mental attack power.
Although the effect is outstanding, even Lu Xiao can't... cough.
However, an overly powerful attack power would be lacking in defense. Consus was worried that her soul would be corroded unknowingly after entering the Lost Land.
Aletheia and Consus simultaneously turned their attention to Lu Xiao: "The best solution is for Lu Xiao to spend some time and use the ability of soul materialization to permanently strengthen her soul, but..."
The two of them glanced at Yongzhen who was standing aside.
Yong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in a funny way: "What do you think I'm doing? This is a necessary precaution, I have no objection."
When using soul materialization to strengthen the soul and body, Lu Xiao and the recipient must "be honest with each other."
Moreover, when the strengthening of the materialization of the soul is completed, the soul contract between Lu Xiao and the recipient will also be updated, reaching the same highest level as Yongzhen.
"emmmmm..."
Yongzhen didn't say anything, but Tamamo Mae seemed quite troubled.
The so-called candid meeting is not just physical. During the strengthening process, Lu Xiao will inevitably have deep contact with Tamamo Mae's soul and get a glimpse of her images buried deep in her memory.
Everyone has memories that they don't want others to know about, and Tamamo Mae is no exception.
Her biggest dark history is that when she was young and ignorant, she caused trouble in the palace as a palace maid.
She didn't want anyone to know about this unbearable memory and kept it buried deep in her heart. In the process of strengthening her soul, Lu Xiao would probably directly see this embarrassing memory.
Lu Xiao hesitated for a moment: "If it doesn't work, let Xiaoyu stay in the main world. It just so happens that we also need someone to stay behind."
"Ahhh!"
Tamamo Mae scratched her silky hair into a chicken coop and shouted as if giving up: "I know! Isn't it just black history? If you want to see it, just watch it!"
Lu Xiao: "...To be honest, I'm not really interested in your dark history."
…
Having been locked up in a closed space by Abe Seimei for hundreds of years, and finally regaining his freedom, Tamamo Mae is afraid of loneliness more than anyone else.
This time due to special circumstances, Lu Xiao planned to only let Aletheia leave an intelligent clone in the main world, and everyone would enter the Lost Land together and try their best to break through the blockade of the remaining four worlds.
Being left alone at home was unbearable for Tamazomae, and in the end she endured her shame and agreed to undergo soul strengthening.
Late at night, Tamamo Mae and Lu Xiao were sitting opposite each other, holding each other's hands.
Tamamo's fox ears twitched, and a blush appeared on her face unconsciously.
Not because her naked body was seen, but because Lu Xiao was experiencing the dark history of her past.
From Lu Xiao's perspective, Tamamo-mae's so-called dark history is actually nothing to laugh at.
It was nothing more than a newly minted crazy girl who was causing trouble in the palace without any sense of control, using her innate charm ability and beautiful appearance to fool the entire palace.
As for the death of Emperor Toba, it actually had nothing to do with Tamamo Mae.
He simply died due to excessive drinking and sex, a very standard cause of death for an Eastern emperor... After all, there were three thousand beauties in the harem.
The two factions fighting against each other in the court and supporting the crown prince just used Tamamo-mae, who was born as a monster, as an excuse to increase their faction's influence by defeating the monsters that caused trouble in the palace, thereby expanding the faction's right to speak in the court as much as possible.
Skimming over the memories of Tamamo Mae from the perspective of a bystander, Lu Xiao tried his best to focus all his attention on the business.
"Phew~ It's done."
Lu Xiao took out a sheet from his personal space and covered Tamamo's naked and graceful body: "The preparations are complete. We have a day off tomorrow and we will set off early the day after tomorrow."
Lu Xiao put on her clothes and turned around to leave, wrapping her perfect figure in a sheet. Before Lu Xiao turned around, her eyes slightly lowered, she curled her lips and complained in a low voice: "You're so serious, I thought you were really serious."
