Chapter 3038: Ruins Coolies
"I'll call a halt?"
Kael was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Dox suddenly turned to him, but he nodded subconsciously: "Okay."
Then, Kael turned his head to look at the words flashing in the eyes of the human face pattern on the banyan tree, and was about to call a halt.
However, at the moment when Kael opened his mouth, a gust of wind rushed directly into his throat.
Kael was not careful for a moment, and drank a gust of cold wind, and couldn't help bending over and starting to cough dryly.
While coughing, he looked at Angel with a puzzled look.
The sudden wind just now was what Su Ling poured into his mouth! After this period of getting along, Kael still knows Su Ling's personality very well. This elemental creature has a rare stability and quietness in the wind system, and it is basically impossible to do mischief.
So, the only one who attacked him was probably Angel, the apparent owner of Su Ling.
But why did Angel attack him?
In response to Kael's eye questioning, Angel did not deny it and nodded gently. However, he did not speak, but created a mind band to connect with Kael.
Just when the mind band was successfully connected and Kael was about to ask why, a voice came into his ears first.
"I asked Su Ling to do it." The voice of Dox came from the mind band.
Kael was dazed for a while: "..." It was you who asked me to stop, but you came to hurt me again?
Dox continued: "You just responded to what the tree said, and you are not afraid of being sold out."
Kael said blankly: "What do you mean?"
At this time, Angel said: "Actually, the thing is like this..."
When Kael found the tree with human face patterns, Angel received a "private chat request" from Dox. Although he didn't know what Dox was going to say, Angel still constructed a mind band.
As soon as the mind band was connected, Dox said to Angel: "I feel something is wrong."
If other people said that they felt something was wrong, Angel would probably ignore it, but when Dox said it, it would be different. Angel had seen Dox's inspiration in the underground sewer with his own eyes, and had verified the correctness of his inspiration many times.
So, when Angel heard Dox say this, he immediately put away his scattered thoughts and solemnly asked Dox where his feeling came from.
Dox did not hide it and told him about the changes in his inspiration along the way.
Because of the transformation of his talent, Dox's inspiration has not been completely restored, but the instinct-related guidance to avoid danger has already had a vague sense.
Since Angel found Dox, his "danger radar" has been turned on, but from beginning to end, the radar has never really sounded.
Even if they chose to go to the arena at that time, the danger radar did not sound. It means that at least at that time, Dox's inspiration did not think that the arena would pose a danger to them.
Later, they turned to the paradise, and the danger radar also did not sound.
Dox even doubted whether there was something wrong with his vague sense of danger.
After they entered the paradise, Dox did not feel anything wrong at first, until the moment when Kael shouted, the danger radar in Dox's heart suddenly sounded.
Dox, who was experienced in inspiration, immediately noticed something was wrong. This was a sign that danger was approaching them.
But he didn't see what was wrong for the time being, and where the danger came from, so he held back and just pulled Angel into the mind tie and told Angel the situation.
Angel was... completely unaware of Dox's premonition of danger.
However, this did not hinder Angel's trust.
Since Dox turned on the danger radar when Kael called them, it is very likely that the danger came from Kael.
As for whether Kael himself brought the danger or the human face pattern was dangerous, it still needs to be observed.
After their observation and communication, they finally came to a conclusion.
Whether Kael or the human face pattern, there are problems.
The problem with the human face pattern is obvious. Its appearance here itself means that there is a problem.
In the original paradise, even if there was this big banyan tree, there would definitely be no human face pattern on the tree. From the bunch of "game items" displayed by the human face pattern, it can be seen that this must be the work of the attacker.
Kael's problem was not obvious. If they had not started to observe in advance and communicated continuously in the mind band, they might not have discovered Kael's problem.
Kael was the first to discover the human face pattern, which was actually a bit strange. After all, the two formal wizards next to him did not find it, but Kael, as an apprentice, found it first, which was very strange.
However, this was not a big problem. Maybe Kael was lucky and found it first than them. What's more, Angel did not focus on finding the entrance and exit at that time, but was studying the space membrane.
Therefore, whether there was a problem with the human face pattern can be put aside for the time being.
But after discovering the human face pattern, Kael's performance was different from usual.
First of all, the human face pattern was reading the countdown and showing various game items in his eyes, which did attract some of Angel and Dox's attention.
But under normal circumstances, when this unreasonable human face pattern game appeared, Kael, as a wizard apprentice, should think about how to protect himself cautiously, instead of looking very "brave".
Kael was the first person to comment on the human face pattern game.
The sentence "Whether it is true or not, you will know after you go and see it" seems to be fine at the moment. But the premise is that this sentence comes from Angel or Dox.
But this sentence came from Kael, and Kael said such a brave word when Angel and Dox did not speak, which is very strange.
Of course, Angel still cannot prove that Kael has a problem with the existing evidence.
However, Dox directly gave a verdict.
"Kael must have a problem." Dox said this to Angel with certainty in the mind band.
Evidence, no. Reason: feeling.
Dox's inspiration is the biggest evidence. After Kael said that very brave word, Dox's inspiration began to warn.
According to the degree of warning of inspiration, Dox can basically determine one thing: Kael has a problem, but the problem is not too big, it should be just affected by the human face pattern. But the problem of the human face pattern must be very big.
It didn't know what method it used, but it exerted influence on Kael, making Kael show a different side from usual.
And the purpose was also very clear.
From Kael's brave words, we can know that the purpose of the human face pattern is to let them join the game.
As for what problems there are in joining the game, or what hidden dangers there will be. It is not clear at the moment, but Dox has begun to speculate in his heart.
Afterwards, Dox asked the human face pattern how to choose the game project shown in its eyes. The human face pattern gave the answer, just call it a halt.
Dox followed the guidance of inspiration at the time and asked Kael: "Or, you call it a halt?"
This was actually a further test of whether Kael had any problems.
With Kael's usual cautious character, he would never take the initiative to take the lead in this obviously wrong thing.
Facts have proved that Kael was really affected by the human face pattern.
He agreed to call it a halt.
Agreeing to call it a halt is nothing. But from beginning to end, Kael was only talking to Dox, completely ignoring Angel.
Angel is also a formal wizard, and according to the ranking of the right to speak, he is the highest among the three.
Kael skipped Angel and started to "stop" directly. From a certain perspective, this is equivalent to saying that he does not care about Angel's opinion; or he thinks he can represent Angel and agree to this game.
No matter which direction you look at it, this is problematic.
Therefore, Dox decisively stopped Kael's "stop".
As for why he asked Su Ling to fill his mouth to stop Kael from speaking, it is actually a kind of inspection.
The wind that Su Ling poured into Kael's mouth was the wind of purification.
Dox wanted to see if Kael was polluted in some way.
The final answer was: Kael's body was not polluted, and his mental fluctuations were also normal.
Combined with the various details discovered before, Kael's situation can be basically deduced: he did not encounter invasive pollution, it should be just some kind of psychological guidance.
After confirming this result, Dox pulled Kael into the mind band.
Because this kind of psychological guidance can only interfere with Kael's choice in a small range. It can't really subvert Kael's character.
Kael's thinking space and spiritual sea are normal.
Therefore, just tell Kael the truth, and this kind of psychological guidance can be completely suppressed.
In fact, Kael was indeed shocked.
After listening to Dox and Angel's stories, Kael thought back to what he said before, and it was indeed full of disobedience! Under normal circumstances, he would never be so impulsive.
When Kael had such a thought, it was equivalent to breaking the cocoon, and the influence of the human face pattern naturally failed.
"Those thoughtless words I said seemed to be for opening the game? Is the purpose of the human face pattern to open the game?" Kael asked in the mind band.
Dox: "To be precise, the human face pattern hopes to conclude a certain contract."
"Contract?" Not only Kael was surprised, but even Angel looked at Dox in surprise.
Angel knew the purpose of the human face pattern. It probably wanted Kael to start the game, and then use Kael to enter the game and pull him and Dox into the game.
But Angel only pushed this level. Unexpectedly, Dox directly gave a deeper answer.
The human face pattern not only wanted to use Kael to drag them into the game, but also wanted to conclude some kind of contract? !
"Yes, it's a contract." Dox said firmly.
Angel: "How did you know?"
Dox: "... guessed."
Angel: "..." Sure enough, I shouldn't have too much expectation on Dox.
However, even if it was just Dox's guess, it should still be taken seriously. After all, inspiration is different. His guess, even if it is groundless, is most likely to be the correct answer.
Kael: "If it is a contract, if I sign it directly with you, it might reveal a flaw. So, the human face pattern chose me and wanted to use me to force you to sign the contract? Does this make sense? You are not stupid. How could you sign the contract if you found something wrong?"
Dokes: "You are typical of using the result to reverse the process. If I don't tell you that its purpose is to conclude a contract, can you think of the contract?"
From the result to the process, there are problems everywhere. But in the real world, only after the process, there will be a result.
Before knowing the real purpose of the human face pattern, they found that Kael was involved in the game turmoil and would most likely enter the game on his own initiative.
And once he entered the game, he entered the contract set by the human face pattern.
"Contract... Once you enter the game, you will conclude a contract?" Angel: "Can a contract be concluded in this way?"
Dox: "Yes, Kael once told me something similar."
Kael? Angel looked at Kael in confusion.
"Me?" Kael was also stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to think of something: "Master Red Sword is talking about... the coolies in the ruins?"
Dox nodded.
Angel asked curiously, "Ruins coolie?"
Kael did not hide it and said frankly, "Ruins coolie is a special situation I encountered during my exploration of ruins."
Kael loves to explore ruins very much. His life is basically divided into two halves: one half is a otaku researcher, and the other half is a ruins explorer.
He has explored more ruins than many formal wizards.
During the exploration of various ruins, Kael also encountered many strange things and strange people. Among them, the ruins coolie.
The ruins coolie was someone Kael met on the surface of the abyss many years ago.
The other party was originally an apprentice from the Frost Moon Alliance. He came to the abyss to accept a mission to search for some magic materials. However, his luck was not very good. When searching for magic materials, he mistakenly entered a place called "Confusing Heart Castle".
This place looks like a dilapidated castle site on the surface, but under the castle, there is a vestigial clone of a confusing heart banshee.
The Bewitching Banshee is a low-level demon, and is still very common on the surface of the Abyss.
But this Bewitching Banshee is a little different... She has awakened.
The underground avatar is her physical body before awakening.
There is no personal will on the avatar of this Bewitching Banshee, but she has been given a special force field by the awakened body.
When any intelligent creature enters the underground, her force field will be triggered.
After the force field is triggered, there will be no danger for the time being, but the purpose of the visitor will be asked.
But as long as the visitor answers the other party, no matter what your answer is, you will be forced to sign a slave contract.
The apprentice of the Frost Moon Alliance was already very cautious, and the answer he said was also made up, but he was also forced to stay underground.
In the end, he became a ruins coolie.
Not only can he not leave the Bewitching Castle, but he is also forced to guard the avatar of the Bewitching Banshee.
According to the ruins coolie, during that period, a large number of little demons and natives were transformed into ruins coolies.
Later, the remains of the Bewitching Castle were taken away by her awakened body, so no new remains were transformed.
But even if the remains left, the original remains were still unable to leave the Castle of Bewitching. The only thing to be thankful for is that they are still alive.
When Kael went to explore the ruins of the Castle of Bewitching, he was lucky. The remains had left, so he met a group of remains who no longer needed to guard the remains. Because they didn't need to guard the remains, they didn't have to fight with other people. Facing Kael, a human, the Frost Moon apprentice stood up to communicate with him and saved him.
After that, Kael left the ruins of the Castle of Bewitching and submitted the matter there to the Frost Moon Alliance, which made a lot of contributions.
After returning from the abyss, Kael told Dox about it.
It was because Dox knew that the Bewitching Castle could force a contract, so his inspiration would think in this direction. After all, inspiration is not a prophecy, it needs your cognition as an association basis.
