Chapter 22 Alright! Let's play cards today! (2-in-1 4000-word short chapter)
"Oh? How to say."
nightmare?
Tortured the family for more than a hundred years?
Is it like Freddy in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" who kills people in his sleep?
Sophie glanced at Kesila, and when she nodded, Sophie spoke, "More than a hundred years ago, when I first became a witch...actually, my parents and brothers were not afraid of me.
"Or maybe I was scared at first, but their first reaction was to hide it for me.
"After that, they were no longer afraid of me when we got along, and we lived happily.
"That's how it should be..."
Sophie bit her lower lip lightly and clenched her little fists tightly.
Xila patted her head and continued her words, "Infino, do you know why we are called witches and you are called the child of the curse."
"People with 'god power' who are not recognized by the orthodox religion are witches and children of the curse, as you said." Wang Quan replied.
"That's just part of the reason. The other part of the reason..." Kesila scratched her head, "is that when the witch and the child of the curse awaken, they will produce a certain... feedback to the environment."
Wang Quan can understand this.
Just like mythical creatures appear with their own environmental changes.
The power of mythical creatures will have an impact on the entire world, and it is a legal impact.
Therefore, in Mochizuki Rin's world, those weird things also have their own "standpoints".
In this world, the witch and the Cursed Child also awakened the power of mythical creatures, and this is normal.
"Anyway, when I arrived...Sophie was the only one left in the Ponton family." Kesila didn't say any more. She touched the blond hair on Sophie's head, "After I rescued her,
After guiding her for a while, the phenomenon disappeared after her abilities stabilized."
After a pause, she continued: "But Sophie wrote to me six months ago and said that the phenomenon had happened again. She happened to be passing by, so I planned to come and see what was going on."
"Not only Sophie, I know that several witches have gone berserk with their power." She rubbed her brows and looked at Wang Quan pitifully, "Yin Feinuo, I'm so tired...
..”
Wang Quan was too lazy to talk to her, but looked at Sophie, "Then what is the form of 'influence'?"
"It's obviously a dead thing, but it's definitely a living thing."
It was Sophie who answered, "My ability is to temporarily seal the soul of a living person into a dead object. The closer the object looks to a living person, the higher the success rate."
"As you can see, the puppets here are actually living people. It was only with the help of Kesila that I successfully sealed the souls of my family and servants. I hope to solve this problem one day and then free them.
"But that thing is obviously closer to the essence of my awakened divine power than me."
Sophie had a headache, "That thing... is very close to a real person, but it will devour the target's existence to replace the target. After that, it will continue to devour other people, and other people will not know who it is as if their consciousness has been blocked."
disappeared.
"In other words, I will forget everything about the 'missing person'.
"So even now I don't know what that thing is. I can only guess it through my own abilities."
Wang Quan turned around and asked Kesila, "Kesila, you can't deal with that thing?"
"It's possible, but the problem is that I can't encounter it." Kesila touched her face with one hand and was troubled. "Both I and Sophie can deal with that thing, but it seems to be conscious. During a head-to-head confrontation, it was discovered that the thing was
But after that, the opponent didn't dare to come out. During that confrontation, I also took the opportunity to save the souls of Sophie's family and servants.
"After it devours other people, we will forget who is missing, and after it replaces living people, it is completely impossible to tell whether it is a human being or not.
"Unless we find a group of powerful witches to stay in the castle with the Cursed Son, and we need the other party to really come out.
"But that's impossible.
"It won't work for other extraordinary beings, because the Ponton family had an extremely powerful butler before, but that butler also 'disappeared'."
She roughly told what happened.
That butler is very powerful, at least according to Kesila, he is stronger than Kenchi Ichiro.
The reason why they found out that the housekeeper disappeared was because one day Kesila asked, "Is your family so big that you don't even have an old housekeeper?"
Only then did they realize that the old housekeeper must have been devoured.
Of course, this happened before Xila violently beat the thing.
Wang Quan nodded to express his understanding.
Maybe that thing is really conscious, or maybe it's just seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
If you find that you can't defeat Kesila, you won't come out.
And that strength...maybe the ability to achieve 'equal strength to the target'.
However, the strength of the Witch and the Cursed Child originates from "God's Power", so it may be able to copy physical strength, but it cannot copy other "God's Power".
Because the person is not qualified enough.
If Kesila and Wang Quan come here after this time, it probably won't be able to solve the problem.
But now...
Because there are people like Ichiro Kenike and Laphtia, if the other party is really just "simple seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages", then they may take action.
This is back to the situation when Kesila came.
The opponent cannot deal with Kesila, Wang Quan, and Sophie, but it can deal with others!
Kenchi Ichiro is too partial to science.
He has basically nothing to do with incorporeal guys or weird ones.
Not to mention others.
The premise is that there is no Wang Quan.
Wang Quan's ability is perfect for dealing with this thing!
The black and red mist can lurk on other people. If Wang Quan leaves some flesh and blood, he can come directly to whoever the other party finds.
The ability of the blood-colored ink "spell" can mark the opponent when he is running away.
And Su Qian’s ability to focus on the bright bird.
As long as the opponent dares to show up, Wang Quan can directly open the "Forbidden Demon Realm" to give the opponent a break!
"Actually, there's no need to rush this matter." Kesila leaned on the table and looked at Wang Quan with a silly smile. "The main thing is that I just happened to be passing by. If Infino's power can't solve it, then let's rest for a while and replenish some water before leaving.
"After all, we are Infino's precious companions, so we can't let you all die here."
The latter words were spoken to Kenchi Ichiro and Laphtia.
Sophie had no objection.
"Isn't it a coincidence?" Wang Quan said happily, "I just happen to have a way to solve it."
He cut off his arm without saying anything.
Then, with Sophie's stunned expressions and Kenchi Ichiro's eyes twitching, he took out his hand ax and added "Power of Wind" to increase the sharpness of the ax.
Then he raised and lowered the knife with his hand, and soon the arm turned into a pile of ribs.
Wang Quan quickly grew his right arm, and then with a wave of his hand, the pile of ribs flew in front of Kenchi Ichiro and others, and each of them happened to have a portion.
But it’s not Ksila and Sophie’s fault, they can deal with that thing on their own.
"Put these away." Wang Quan opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, "Be sure to take them with you tonight, don't separate them, and take them with you when you sleep."
Kenchi Ichiro muttered and accepted it.
Raphtia and others did not dare to object.
Wang Quan turned around and smiled, "The next step is to wait for that thing to take the bait."
............
There was no words in the middle of the night, and the time quickly came to the second half of the night.
Tonight, Kesila was very sensible and did not ask to sleep with Wang Quan.
All of them are distributed on the second floor.
Sophie is in the master bedroom on the third floor.
In the guest room on the second floor, the group of three people shared a room, and Kenchi Ichiro and Raphtia shared a room.
Then Wang Quan and Kesila's rooms are scattered at the left and right ends of the corridor.
This will make it easier for them to take action if something happens.
Wang Quan didn't sleep.
In other words, people who knew the situation didn't even sleep. After all, this matter may still threaten their lives in the end.
Although I trust Wang Quan, I will still be afraid of what I should be afraid of.
Except Wang Quan and Xila.
Kesila was heartless and fell into a deep sleep.
As she said, she fully trusted Wang Quan.
So as long as Wang Quan said there was no problem, she wouldn't care.
Of course, it is also because if something happens, she will definitely be able to rush to the scene as soon as possible.
The premise is that there will be movement.
Wang Quan didn't sleep either, he was playing guessing games.
Who are you playing guessing games with?
There is a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the guest room, and the floor is covered with thick carpet.
Wang Quan now sits with his legs crossed in front of the mirror, playing guessing games with himself in the mirror.
"rock-paper-scissors!"
Wang Quan punched out.
Wang Quan in the mirror took out the scissors.
Wang Quan outside the mirror raised the corners of his mouth and said in a faint voice, "You lost..."
Wang Quan in the mirror also raised the corners of his mouth and said in a faint voice, "You lost..."
"I'm mentally retarded."
"I'm mentally retarded."
"I'm right."
"I'm right."
"As expected of me."
"As expected of me."
It's really boring... Wang Quan continued: "Come on, continue rock-paper-scissors."
Wang Quan in the mirror said nothing this time.
Wang Quan outside started to wave his hands, "Rock, scissors...paper!"
The stone from Wangquan outside.
The cloth from Wang Quan in the Mirror.
But within that 0.0001 second, Wang Quan outside changed from a rock to a pair of scissors.
"I win again."
"I win again."
Wang Quan in the mirror started to read again.
Wang Quan probably understood.
He didn't expect this thing to find him at first.
But since it has found you, let’s play with it first.
First of all, it is to test the opponent's ability.
Then through continuous testing, Wang Quan gradually understood everything.
This thing is a bit similar to the original "Clown in the Mirror".
But it's not like hurting each other.
This thing will "learn" or "copy" the target.
Then it will proceed to a "match" state.
This "match" can be compared to anything.
Including fighting.
So if those people attack it, it will be regarded as "starting the game".
But how can one live up to his "perfect state"?
This "self" has all your abilities (except for the power of myth), and your physical strength, consciousness, and state are all the most perfect you.
He also has unlimited physical strength and will never be impatient or distracted.
Another thing is that the other person can know what is thinking in your mind at this moment.
If it "loses", it should be devoured.
But if you don't get caught cheating, you'll be fine.
So Wang Quan is playing guessing games with it.
At the beginning, Wang Quan won a hundred times and drew eighty times.
Because he will think about what he will produce in his mind, and then he will produce something else.
For example, if you think about making paper by yourself, but what comes out is rock or scissors.
And don’t think about what will happen next, just rely on the black and red mist to control it.
In other words, Wang Quan used the black and red mist to control his hands, and then issued a command to "control his hands to make unexpected gestures based on what he was thinking in his mind."
This is at least a draw.
After nearly two hundred rounds of duel like this, Wang Quan still wasn't swallowed up.
That proves that as long as you don't lose, you won't be swallowed.
Later, Wang Quan changed his mind and became whatever he thought of, and then changed within a few tenths of a second.
It turns out that this thing has no thinking.
It should just follow a certain logic or "rules" to "compete".
The next step is the other two tests.
First, test how long this thing exists.
Will it not disappear until it devours the target, or will it disappear as soon as dawn breaks?
Also, if you kill the opponent, will the opponent disappear completely or still exist afterwards.
Wang Quan tested these mainly because he wanted to find out the other party's "rules".
In this way, if he encounters the true form of this "god" with divine power in the future, Wang Quan will at least be able to run away, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Maybe there is still a chance to counterattack.
But just guessing like this during the day is quite boring.
Wang Quan smiled slightly, and a stack of cards appeared with a flick of his right hand.
Looking at the back of the card, it is undoubtedly Yu-Gi-Oh.
Seeing a stack of cards in front of himself in the mirror, Wang Quan chuckled strangely.
"Now, let's play cards~
"My turn! Duoluo (card draw)! I usually summon Dragon Spear!
"Activate the effect of Dragon's Spear and send the dragon monsters in my hand to the graveyard. Then every time I send a monster to the graveyard, my Dragon's Spear will increase its attack power by 300 points!
"The monsters I sent to the graveyard are...Arclight Brave Dragon! And Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
............
The next day, early morning——
"Oh~Jianchi-san, are you going to work with Missy?"
Wang Quan felt that with his Japanese skills, he could become a major commander no matter what.
Kenchi Ichiro opened his bloodshot eyes and asked: "Brother Quan, look at how energetic you are... Did you have a good sleep last night?"
Now that it's just the two of them, there's no need to call them "Brother Infino".
The main thing is that Ichiro Kenchi knows who Wang Quan is.
As we all know, Brother Quan is petty.
It doesn't matter if there are others. If you still joke like that in private, then 98% of the time you will be punished!
Wang Quan shook his head, "I didn't sleep all night."
Kenchi Ichiro was suspicious, "Then you are still so energetic as an old man?"
Wang Quan smiled slightly and said, "I played cards all night and won 147 times in a row."
"May I ask, what card?"
"game Master."
Kenchi Ichiro: "..."
Brother, you are so addicted to poker!
You can play cards all night long.
Um?
wrong!
Kenchi Ichiro suddenly realized, "Brother Quan, who are you playing cards with? Is it with the 'little boy in your heart'?"
Brother Quan's condition is getting worse and worse.
It seems that I need to find an opportunity to tactfully remind Brother Quan that the medicine cannot be stopped.
"No, just that thing, the one I mentioned yesterday."
Wang Quan smiled and said, "I already understand everything, and this matter will be completely resolved tonight."
