Chapter 2325 Mirror Grudge

Frode is so concerned about the abilities of special undead because of Turas.

Although he always disliked Turas for causing great destruction in the city of beginners, he gradually understood Turas as they spent more time together. He was a little silly, with a very pure heart. If Frode were still alive, he might have mocked him as a fool, but after becoming a soul body, Frode liked this kind of pure heart more and more than the elusive and complex personality.

Angel mentioned before that there was a chance to let Turas also learn soul tricks.

Since then, Frode has been interested.

There are two mainstream ways to learn soul tricks. Ada and Shanni learn through dead air, which is relatively safe. However, it also tends to be mediocre.

The second way is to assist in practicing soul tricks by killing and absorbing the special energy of the undead.

Although this method has the risk of degeneration, if the other party's special ability is relatively good, it can be learned instantly, and the power of formation is also greater.

Frode himself absorbed the special spider undead of Lady Xila and learned soul tricks.

The first method can be carried out at any time, so you can put it aside for now and not consider it. The second method, if you can really meet a special undead whose ability matches that of Tulas, this method is obviously better than the first one.

For this reason, Frode is very concerned about whether the farmer's ghost has become a special undead, and what special abilities he will have if he is a special undead.

"Special undead are usually hard to meet, I hope you are..."

After discussing the current situation with Drew and arranging some back-up arrangements, Drew hurried away.

Frode took out the login device and entered the dream wilderness.

He was going to report what happened here to Angel.

However, since leaving a message with the tree group, three or four consecutive days have passed, and Frode has not received a reply.

Tulas followed Nice to the new city again. Frode wanted Tulas to help him send a message, but he couldn't.

In the past few days, Drew has continuously sent messages that the ghost attacks at the foot of the mountain have become more and more frequent. Even though there are royal wizards patrolling nearby, the number of people killed in the forest factory is still more than 30, and a large number of people have witnessed the scene of ghosts appearing.

Since Frode became a soul, he has also begun to pay attention to the affairs of the soul and read many books related to the soul.

One of them, "The Book of the Dead", mentioned many details about the undead, which clearly stated: The undead are naturally full of killings against humans, but the premise is that humans must enter the territory of the undead. In other words, the killing of humans by the undead is basically a passive counterattack.

The attacks at the forest factory have somewhat deviated from the description in the "Book of the Dead".

He has begun to actively look for humans to kill, and has begun to deliberately avoid tracking.

This is obviously not normal.

If the other party is really the ghost of the farmer, he did not go up the mountain at the first time, and ran to slaughter humans and avoid tracking... This sounds very strange.

Frode has a feeling that the other party may be planning something.

Because he had not received a reply from Angel and the ghost of the farmer was imminent, Frode had no choice but to temporarily hand over all the affairs of the City of Beginning to the City Lord Monroe and arrange for several members of the hunting team to protect him. Then he boarded the airship to the new city alone and decided to go directly to Tulas.

On the way to the new city by airship, Frode was not idle. He began to sort out the summary of information sent by Drew.

Trying to use this information to understand the ability of the ghost of the farmer and its plot.

"Case 1: The third team of carpenters in the forest factory was logging at the location No. 509 on the slope in the east area. When they returned home in the evening, they were attacked by ghosts. 4 people died; 0 people escaped."

"Case 2: The second group of carpenters in the forest factory was rough processing the transported wood in the open space outside the factory. They were attacked by ghosts in the afternoon. 11 people died; 1 person escaped."

"Case 3: The general team of the forest factory was attacked by ghosts during a meeting inside the factory. 5 people died (including two people from the Knights); 6 people escaped."

"Case 4:..."

After reading more than ten cases in one breath, I didn't find any useful clues from the case itself. I only know that the other party is not limited by time and is not afraid of sunlight. The case location covers a large area.

But when reading the oral record of the escaped person, Frode's eyes condensed slightly.

Among them, the escaped person in case 2 was named David. He is a carpenter apprentice, and his daily work is to rough-process wood with his colleagues.

On the day the case happened, David was also doing this kind of work. Although he learned that there had been several accidents recently, he only thought that wild animals killed people because of the concealment from his superiors. However, the location they were in was an open space next to the factory, which was blocked by a large number of fences and iron nets. Wild animals could not get in, so David was not very worried about safety.

However, the development of the matter was beyond David's imagination.

That day, the sky was very dark, and the sky was covered with thick black clouds. It was a depressing time when it looked like it was going to rain, but the rain never fell.

It was obviously afternoon, and the leader of the second carpenter group also lit a torch, and told others through the light of the torch to quickly store the rough-processed wood in the warehouse to avoid getting wet after the rain fell.

David was not in a hurry because the wood he had was oilwood and would not get wet even if it was exposed to water. If it was placed in the warehouse, it might spontaneously ignite due to being too dry.

After deciding to finish the last bit of survival, just pile the oil wood outside the warehouse.

David continued processing for about a quarter of an hour. At first, David could still hear the rustling sounds of the people around him, but as he went to the back, the sounds became sparser. When David put down his work, the surroundings were already quiet. piece.

"Going so fast? What's going on with that guy John? Didn't you agree to wait for me to have dinner together?" David complained and muttered, but didn't pay much attention and moved his handicrafts to the warehouse.

The door to the warehouse was open. It was dark inside and nothing could be seen. There was also a faint fishy smell coming from inside.

David didn't think much about it at the time, because mice were often infested in the warehouse, so he let a few cats in to catch them. Cats do like to catch mice, but they don't eat mice, so dead mice often accumulate in the warehouse, and there is often a rotten smell.

In addition, the rain is about to fall, and the stuffy atmosphere will make the stench worse.

David piled the processed oil wood products outside the warehouse.

After doing all this, David suddenly felt that his bladder was a little bloated.

There is a toilet in the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse is not closed, so the first thing David naturally thinks of is to go to the warehouse toilet to discharge the flood. But when David came to the door of the warehouse, he subconsciously stopped.

It's really dark inside, there's no light at all, which is a bit abnormal.

When a carpenter brings rough-processed wood products to the warehouse, he usually carries a glass oil lamp. After all, it is not so dark.

"Maybe they were walking fast?" When David was thinking this, he felt something was wrong. If they were walking so fast, why was the warehouse door not closed?

After pausing at the door for two or three seconds, David retreated.

He always felt that the open warehouse door was like a huge dark mouth, ready to swallow him at any time. This is the metaphor David made when giving his confession to the royal wizard. Maybe it was some kind of precursor, or maybe it was an afterthought after learning the truth.

In short, David did not enter the warehouse. But he couldn't hold it in. According to the factory rules, he couldn't solve it casually. In the end, he decided to go around to the No. 2 warehouse on the other side to use the toilet.

Because he saw the lights on in warehouse No. 2.

The No. 2 warehouse was very clean and had no smell. David hurriedly entered the toilet. After defecating, he saw a large mirror facing the toilet door.

David spat on the palm of his hand and prepared to put a touch of hair on his forehead to style it.

However, just when David was showing off his beauty, he suddenly discovered that "David" in the mirror suddenly grinned. The smile was very weird, with a curvature that David had never achieved before, like a circus figure. clown.

"David"'s eyes in the mirror were also lowered, as if they were shining with a faint green light.

David was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground.

The "David" in the mirror smiled more and more weirdly, and even leaned forward, as if he wanted to catch David outside the mirror.

David really felt as if a pair of hands came out of the mirror and grabbed his ankle.

Perhaps it was the outbreak of crisis. At this critical moment, David picked up a small piece of wood next to him and threw it at the mirror.

The mirror shattered into spider web patterns, and the feeling of being grabbed at the ankle began to dissipate.

David hurriedly got up, shouted for help, and ran outside.

While running, David vaguely heard a shrill roar coming from behind, and a dark wind blew from behind.

David didn't dare to look back at that time, he just ran forward blindly, trying to escape from Warehouse No. 2, but he found that the door of Warehouse No. 2 was not far away, but he couldn't escape no matter how hard he ran.

Just when David thought he was definitely going to die this time, he heard a huge bell.

The moment the bell rang, all the gloomy wind around him disappeared, and David himself felt that the fear in his heart was lessened, and his soul was peaceful.

David didn't know what happened, but his survival instinct made him immediately get up and run towards the door.

This time, the warehouse door did not move "far away", and David ran outside smoothly.

Not long after, David saw a wizard in robes flying over on a broom.

The wizard glanced at David, told him not to move, and rushed into the warehouse. There was no harvest in warehouse No. 2, but in warehouse No. 1, the warehouse that David did not enter, the wizard moved out 11 corpses with horrible death conditions.

These 11 corpses are all members of the second carpenter team except David.

Seeing this scene, David understood that the initial silence was not because his colleagues were silent, but because they had unknowingly stepped into eternal darkness.

…

At the end of the oral transcript, there is an annotation written in red pen.

This annotation explains the sound of the bells that David heard.

But it was a member of the Yinlu Royal Wizard Group who was patrolling nearby. After hearing David's cry, he sensed something was wrong and immediately rang the "bronze bell." The bronze bell was a soul-purifying alchemy tool originally refined by Angel and given to Neia. It could weaken the negative effects of the undead to a certain extent.

It was precisely because of the bronze bell that David got out of his trapped state at that moment.

The effect of the bronze bell lasts for a very short time. David was lucky enough to seize the opportunity. Before the effect disappeared, he rushed out of the warehouse and met the wizard who came to rescue him.

After reading the oral record of the escapee, Frode's heart moved slightly.

He did not analyze it immediately, but continued to read several other oral records. After reading them, Frode fell into deep thought.

David's experience is in line with the public's impression of ghosts, which is unsolvable and terrible.

However, this is only from the perspective of ordinary people.

From Frode's perspective, he doesn't care about the horror atmosphere created, because he can create it himself. What he cares about is the means of attack David suffered.

The "David" in the mirror has a strange deformation.

The "David" in the mirror directly passes through the mirror and attacks the real David.

Through some means, David is trapped so that he cannot escape smoothly.

The above three means of attack must imply the special ability of the undead. Among them, the third means of trapping people is very similar to the "dead soul blindness" that Frode himself has mastered.

Frode can also create a strange blind space, which allows people to see the exit, but never reach it.

This is what Jon calls "ghost wall".

However, Frode's dead soul blindness is a means to trap top apprentices. Even if Nea comes, it is difficult to break free.

The means to trap David was dispelled by a very small copper bell sound. It is obviously very weak and can't bear the name of "dead soul blindness".

But if the opponent's ability is not dead soul blindness, what will it be?

Frode looked at the first two means of attacking David. Both of them contain a medium: mirror.

This reminds Frode of a special undead mirror complaint mentioned in the "Book of the Dead".

The so-called mirror complaint is the undead who use mirrors as a medium. This kind of undead can be quickly transferred through the mirror, and can also use the power of the mirror to pull people's souls into the mirror world for sealing. It can be said that his figure is hard to guard against. When wizards fight him, they are often unexpectedly overturned. Once the figure is imprisoned, it is difficult to escape.

And this method is a specialization of a soul trick.

The name of this soul trick is

Interference.
